16. The king is not saved by the multitude of the army; the mighty man does not escape by much strength.
17. A horse is a vain thing for salvation; neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18. Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that wait for his mercy
19. to deliver their souls from death and to keep them alive in the famine.
20. Our soul waited for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
21. Therefore our heart shall rejoice in him because we have trusted in the name of his holiness.
22. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, according as we have waited upon thee.
