12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. 13The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men. From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth; 15He fashions their hearts individually; He considers all their works. 16No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
