 The looks down from heaven, * and beholds all the people in the world.

From where he sits enthroned he turns his gaze * on all who dwell on the earth.

He fashions all the hearts of them * and understands all their works.

There is no king that can be saved by a mighty army; * a strong man is not delivered by his great strength.

The horse is a vain hope for deliverance; * for all its strength it cannot save.

Behold, the eye of the is upon those who fear him, * on those who wait upon his love,

To pluck their lives from death, * and to feed them in time of famine.

Our soul waits for the ; * he is our help and our shield.

Indeed, our heart rejoices in him, * for in his holy Name we put our trust.

Let your loving&#8209;kindness, O, be upon us, * as we have put our trust in you.

I will bless the at all times; * his praise shall ever be in my mouth.

I will glory in the ; * let the humble hear and rejoice.

Proclaim with me the greatness of the ; * let us exalt his Name together.
