Selected verse
There is no king saved by the multitude of an army.
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17
A horse is a vain thing for safety,
neither does he deliver any by his great power.

Behold, the LORD’s eye is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his loving kindness,
19
to deliver their soul from death,
to keep them alive in famine.
