Psalm 33:12-22
English Standard Version
Psalm 33:12-22
English Standard Version
12 (A)Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has (B)chosen as his heritage!
13 The Lord (C)looks down from heaven;
he sees all the children of man;
14 from (D)where he sits enthroned he (E)looks out
on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions the hearts of them all
and observes all their deeds.
16 (F)The king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17 (G)The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
and by its great might it cannot rescue.
18 Behold, (H)the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
(I)on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19 that he may (J)deliver their soul from death
and keep them alive in (K)famine.
20 Our soul (L)waits for the Lord;
he is our (M)help and (N)our shield.
21 For our heart is (O)glad in him,
because we (P)trust in his holy name.
22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
even as we hope in you.

Psalm 33:12-22
New International Version
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)
Psalm 33:12-22
King James Version
Psalm 33:12-22
King James Version
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An 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 waiteth 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 thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
