¹² The Lord blesses each nation
that worships only him.
    He blesses his chosen ones.
¹³ The Lord looks at the world
¹⁴ from his throne in heaven,
    and he watches us all.
¹⁵ The Lord gave us each a mind,
and nothing we do
    can be hidden from him.

¹⁸ But the Lord watches over
all
    who honor him
    and trust his kindness.
¹⁹ He protects them from death
    and starvation.
