Psalm 33:12-22

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹³ The Lord looks down from heaven;
    he sees all humankind.^(B)
14 From where he sits enthroned he watches
    all the inhabitants of the earth—
¹⁵ he who fashions the hearts of them all
    and observes all their deeds.^(C)
16 A king is not saved by his great army;
    a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.^(D)
17 The war horse is a vain hope for victory,
    and by its great might it cannot save.^(E)

¹⁸ Truly the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
    on those who hope in his steadfast love,^(F)
19 to deliver their soul from death
    and to keep them alive in famine.^(G)

²⁰ Our soul waits for the Lord;
    he is our help and shield.
²¹ Our heart is glad in him
    because we trust in his holy name.^(H)
22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
    even as we hope in you.
