16 En Konge frelses ikke ved stor Magt, en vældig fries ikke ved stor Kraft.

17 Hesten slaar fejl til Frelse og kan ikke redde ved sin store Styrke.
A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
18 Se, Herrens Øje er til dem, som ham frygte, som haabe paa hans Miskundhed,
Behold, Adonai’s eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness;
19 for at fri deres Sjæl fra Død og holde dem i Live i Hungersnøden.

20 Vor Sjæl bier efter Herren, han er vor Hjælp og vort Skjold.

For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Herre! din Miskundhed være over os, ligesom vi haabe paa dig!
Let your loving kindness be on us, Adonai, since we have hoped in you.
