16 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power.
17 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
18 Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
19 To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He,
21 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted.
22 Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee!
