Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

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.

Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he {is} our help and our shield.
