16  ^cThe king is not saved by his great army;

a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.

17  ^dThe war horse is a false hope for salvation,

and by its great might it cannot rescue.

18  Behold, ^ethe eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,

^fon those who hope in his steadfast love,

19  that he may ^gdeliver their soul from death

and keep them alive in ^hfamine.

20  Our soul ⁱwaits for the Lord;

he is our ^jhelp and ^kour shield.

21  For our heart is ^lglad in him,

because we ^mtrust in his holy name.

22  Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,

even as we hope in you.
