16 No king is saved by the great size and power of his army;
a mighty man is not delivered by [his] much strength.17 A horse is devoid of value for victory;
neither does he deliver any by his great power.18 Behold, the Lord’s eye is upon those who fear Him
[who revere and worship Him with awe],
who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness,19 To deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.20 Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord;
He is our Help and our Shield.21 For in Him does our heart rejoice,
because we have trusted
(relied on and been confident)
in His holy name.22 Let Your mercy and loving-kindness,
O Lord, be upon us,
in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.Psalm 33:16-22
