13. The LORD looks from heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14. From the place of his habitation he looks upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15. He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their works.
16. There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17. A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19. To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20. Our soul waits for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22. Let your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in you.
