10. The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing: he makes the devices of the people of none effect.
11. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13. The LORD looks from heaven; he beholds all the sons of men.
14. From the place of his habitation he looks upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15. He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their works.
16. There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17. A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19. To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20. Our soul waits for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.
21. For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22. Let your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in you.
