Psalm 33:12-22

Christian Standard Bible

¹³ The Lord looks down from heaven;
he observes everyone.^(B)
14 He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth
from his dwelling place.^(C)
15 He forms the hearts of them all;
he considers all their works.^(D)
16 A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be rescued by great strength.^(E)
17 The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power.^(F)

¹⁸ But look, the Lord keeps his eye on those who fear him—
those who depend on his faithful love^(G)
19 to rescue them from death
and to keep them alive in famine.^(H)

²⁰ We wait for the Lord;^(I)
he is our help and shield.^(J)
21 For our hearts rejoice in him^(K)
because we trust in his holy name.^(L)
22 May your faithful love rest on us, Lord,
for we put our hope in you.^(M)
