14. From His dwelling place He looks [intently] upon all the inhabitants of the earth–
15. He Who fashions the hearts of them all, Who considers all their doings.
16. No king is saved by the great size and power of his army; a mighty man is not delivered by [his] much strength.
17. A horse is devoid of value for victory; neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18. Behold, the Lord's eye is upon those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe], who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness,
19. To deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20. Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield.
