4 For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain.
4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.

6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth.
6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses.

13 The Lord is looking down from heaven; he sees all the sons of men;
13 From heaven the LORD looks down and sees all mankind;
14 From his house he keeps watch on all who are living on the earth;
14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—
15 He makes all their hearts; their works are clear to him.
15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
16 A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 See, the eye of the Lord is on those in whose hearts is the fear of him, on those whose hope is in his mercy;
18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.
19 to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.
20 We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield.
21 For in him our hearts have joy; in his holy name is our hope.
21 In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
22 Let your mercy be on us, O Lord, as we are waiting for you.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
