Psalm 33:12-19

New International Version

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,^(A)
    the people he chose^(B) for his inheritance.^(C)
¹³From heaven the Lord looks down^(D)
    and sees all mankind;^(E)
¹⁴from his dwelling place^(F) he watches
    all who live on earth—
¹⁵he who forms^(G) the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.^(H)

¹⁶No king is saved by the size of his army;^(I)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
¹⁷A horse^(J) is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
¹⁸But the eyes^(K) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,^(L)
¹⁹to deliver them from death^(M)
    and keep them alive in famine.^(N)

Woe to Those Who Rely on Egypt

31 Woe^(A) to those who go down to Egypt^(B) for help,
    who rely on horses,^(C)
who trust in the multitude of their chariots^(D)
    and in the great strength of their horsemen,
but do not look to the Holy One^(E) of Israel,
    or seek help from the Lord.^(F)
