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.
21 For in him our hearts rejoice;in his holy name we trust.
22 May your mercy, Lord, be upon us;as we put our hope in you.
