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.
21. For in Him does our heart rejoice, because we have trusted (relied on and been confident) in His holy name.
22. Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.
