15 He forms all their thoughtsand knows everything they do.
16 A king does not win because of his powerful army;a soldier does not triumph because of his strength.
17 War horses are useless for victory;their great strength cannot save.
18 The Lord watches over those who obey him,those who trust in his constant love.
19 He saves them from death;he keeps them alive in times of famine.
20 We put our hope in the Lord;he is our protector and our help.
21 We are glad because of him;we trust in his holy name.
