18 Behold, the eye of YHWH [is] to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon those who fear him, upon those who hope in his loving kindness,
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.

Let thy loving kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, according as we have hoped in thee.
