14. From where he rules, he looks downon all who live on earth.
15. He forms all their thoughtsand knows everything they do.
16. A king does not win because of his powerful army;a soldier does not triumph because of his strength.
17. War horses are useless for victory;their great strength cannot save.
18. The Lord watches over those who obey him,those who trust in his constant love.
19. He saves them from death;he keeps them alive in times of famine.
20. We put our hope in the Lord;he is our protector and our help.
21. We are glad because of him;we trust in his holy name.
22. May your constant love be with us, Lord,as we put our hope in you.
