(2) verse 12 O blessed nation whose God Jehovah is; And people whom for heritage he chosen hath for his. verse 13 The Lord from heaven looks, all sons of men views well. verse 14 Look from his dwelling place doth h to all on earth that dwell.
verse 15 The hearts of every one alike he doth them frame, And all their operations he well doth mind the same. ⟨p. 87⟩verse 16 By multitude of hosts no king himself doth save: Nor yet by multitude of strength they strong deliverance have.
verse 17 A horse a vain thing is to be a saviour; Nor shall he work deliverance by greatness of his power. verse 18 On them that do him fear, lo is Jehovah's eye: Upon them that do place their hope on his benignity.
verse 19 To save alive in dearth, their soul from death to free. verse 20 Our soul doth for Jehovah wait, our help and shield is he. verse 21 For our heart joys in him, in's holy name trust we: Thy mercy Lord, let be on us like as we trust in thee.
