12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord—
the people he has chosen to be his own possession!e
13The Lord looks down from heaven;
he observes everyone.f
14He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth
from his dwelling place.g
15He forms the hearts of them all;
he considers all their works.h
16A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be rescued by great strength.i
17The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power.j
18But look, the Lord keeps his eye on those who fear him—
those who depend on his faithful lovek
19to rescue them from death
and to keep them alive in famine.l

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
The Lord looks down from heaven;
he sees all the children of man;
from where he sits enthroned he looks out
on all the inhabitants of the earth,
he who fashions the hearts of them all
and observes all their deeds.
The king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
and by its great might it cannot rescue.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love,
that he may deliver their soul from death
and keep them alive in famine.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.

NLTNew Living Translation
What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord,
whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.
The Lord looks down from heaven
and sees the whole human race.
From his throne he observes
all who live on the earth.
He made their hearts,
so he understands everything they do.
The best-equipped army cannot save a king,
nor is great strength enough to save a warrior.
Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
for all its strength, it cannot save you.
But the Lord watches over those who fear him,
those who rely on his unfailing love.
He rescues them from death
and keeps them alive in times of famine.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh,
the people he has chosen for his inheritance.
From heaven Yahweh looks;
he sees all the children of humankind.
From his dwelling place he gazes
on all the inhabitants of the earth,
he who fashions altogether their heart,
he who understands all their works.
The king is not saved by the greatness of an army.
The warrior is not delivered by the greatness of strength.
The horse is a false hope for victory,
nor can it save by the greatness of its power.
Behold, the eye of Yahweh is on those who fear him,
on those who hope for his loyal love
to deliver their soul from death
and to keep them alive in famine.

KJV 1900King James Version
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord;
And the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
The Lord looketh from heaven;
He beholdeth all the sons of men.
From the place of his habitation he looketh
Upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
He fashioneth their hearts alike;
He considereth all their works.
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host:
A mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
An horse is a vain thing for safety:
Neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him,
Upon them that hope in his mercy;
To deliver their soul from death,
And to keep them alive in famine.
