Behold, the Lord’s eye is upon those who fear Him (who revere and worship Him with awe), who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness.  To deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.  Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield.  For in Him does our heart rejoice, because we have trusted (relied on and been confident) in His holy name.

Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You. While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. Psalms 146:2
