Psalms 33
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
17 Ref A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.
18 Ref 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;
19 Ref To keep their souls from death; and to keep them living in time of need.
20 Ref Our souls are waiting for the Lord; he is our help and our salvation.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
17 Ref A false thing `is' the horse for safety, And by the abundance of his strength He doth not deliver.
18 Ref Lo, the eye of Jehovah `is' to those fearing Him, To those waiting for His kindness,
19 Ref To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 Ref Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield `is' He,
