Psalm 33:12-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people chosen as his inheritance.(A)
IV
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and observes the children of Adam,(B)
14 From his dwelling place he surveys
all who dwell on earth.
15 The One who fashioned together their hearts
is the One who knows all their works.
V
16 A king is not saved by a great army,
nor a warrior delivered by great strength.
17 Useless is the horse for safety;
despite its great strength, it cannot be saved.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear him,
upon those who count on his mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive through famine.
VI
20 Our soul waits for the Lord,
he is our help and shield.(C)
21 For in him our hearts rejoice;
in his holy name we trust.
22 May your mercy, Lord, be upon us;
as we put our 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)
