12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
13 The Lord looks from heaven;He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looksOn all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually;He considers all their works.
16 No king is saved by the multitude of an army;A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for safety;Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,On those who hope in His mercy,
