- Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance.
- From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
- from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth-
- he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
- No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
|
- A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
- But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
- to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
- We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
- In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
|
- May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
