¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,^(A)
    the people he chose^(B) for his inheritance.^(C)
13 From heaven the Lord looks down^(D)
    and sees all mankind;^(E)
14 from his dwelling place^(F) he watches
    all who live on earth—
¹⁵ he who forms^(G) the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.^(H)

¹⁶ No king is saved by the size of his army;^(I)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
¹⁷ A horse^(J) is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
¹⁸ But the eyes^(K) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,^(L)
19 to deliver them from death^(M)
    and keep them alive in famine.^(N)

²⁰ We wait^(O) in hope for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield.
²¹ In him our hearts rejoice,^(P)
    for we trust in his holy name.^(Q)
22 May your unfailing love^(R) be with us, Lord,
    even as we put our hope in you.

⁶ Your right hand,^(A) Lord,
    was majestic in power.
Your right hand,^(B) Lord,
    shattered^(C) the enemy.

⁷ “In the greatness of your majesty^(D)
    you threw down those who opposed you.
You unleashed your burning anger;^(E)
    it consumed^(F) them like stubble.
⁸ By the blast of your nostrils^(G)
    the waters piled up.^(H)
The surging waters stood up like a wall;^(I)
    the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.^(J)
9 The enemy boasted,
    ‘I will pursue,^(K) I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;^(L)
    I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
    and my hand will destroy them.’
¹⁰ But you blew with your breath,^(M)
    and the sea covered them.
They sank like lead
    in the mighty waters.^(N)
11 Who among the gods
    is like you,^(O) Lord?
Who is like you—
    majestic in holiness,^(P)
awesome in glory,^(Q)
    working wonders?^(R)
