Psalm 33:12-22
New King James Version
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
The people He has (A)chosen as His own inheritance.
13 (B)The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually;
(C)He [a]considers all their works.
16 (D)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 (E)A horse is a [b]vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
18 (F)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,
19 To deliver their soul from death,
And (G)to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,
Because we have trusted in His holy name.
22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,
Just as we hope in You.

New International Version
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,(A)
the people he chose(B) for his inheritance.(C)
13 From heaven the Lord looks down(D)
and sees all mankind;(E)
14 from his dwelling place(F) he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms(G) the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.(H)
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;(I)
no warrior escapes by his great strength.

on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,(L)
19 to deliver them from death(M)
and keep them alive in famine.(N)
