14 From his dwelling place he surveysall who dwell on earth.
15 The One who fashioned together their heartsis the One who knows all their works.
16 A king is not saved by a great army,nor a warrior delivered by great strength.
17 Useless is the horse for safety;despite its great strength, it cannot be saved.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear him,upon those who count on his mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,and to keep them alive through famine.
20 Our soul waits for the Lord,he is our help and shield.
