Rh :He maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
 * The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever,
 * The thoughts of his heart to all generations.
 * Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;
 * And the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
 * The Lord looketh from heaven;
 * He beholdeth all the sons of men.
 * From the place of his habitation he looketh
 * Upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
 * He fashioneth their hearts alike;
 * He considereth all their works.
 * There is no king saved by the multitude of an host:
 * A mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
 * An horse is a vain thing for safety:
 * Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
 * Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him,
 * Upon them that hope in his mercy;
 * To deliver their soul from death,
 * And to keep them alive in famine.
 * Our soul waiteth for the Lord:
 * He is our help and our shield.
 * For our heart shall rejoice in him,
 * Because we have trusted in his holy name.
 * Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
 * According as we hope in thee.
