Psalm 33:12-22

Complete Jewish Bible

¹³ Adonai looks out from heaven;
he sees every human being;
¹⁴ from the place where he lives
he watches everyone living on earth,
¹⁵ he who fashioned the hearts of them all
and understands all they do.

¹⁶ A king is not saved by the size of his army,
a strong man not delivered by his great strength.
¹⁷ To rely on a horse for safety is vain,
nor does its great power assure escape.

¹⁸ But Adonai’s eyes watch over those who fear him,
over those who wait for his grace
¹⁹ to rescue them from death
and keep them alive in famine.

²⁰ We are waiting for Adonai;
he is our help and shield.
²¹ For in him our hearts rejoice,
because we trust in his holy name.
²² May your mercy, Adonai, be over us,
because we put our hope in you.
