| [8]Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the inhabitants of the world afraid. |

| [10]Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed the thoughts of the peoples. |

[14]From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. |
| [15]Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending unto all their works. |
[15]He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. |
| [16]The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power. |
[16]There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. |

[17]An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. |
| [18]Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness, |
[18]Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; |
| [19]To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine. |
[19]To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. |
| [20]Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield [is] He, |

| [21]For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we have trusted. |
[21]For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. |
| [22]Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited for Thee! |
[22]Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. |
