Psalm 33:13-22

13From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;

14from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—

15he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.

16No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.

17A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.

18But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

19to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

20We wait in hope for the LORD ; he is our help and our shield.

21In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. 22May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
