5. He loves justice and right.The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6. By the Lord’s word the heavens were made;by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7. He gathered the waters of the sea as a mound;he sets the deep into storage vaults.
8. Let all the earth fear the Lord;let all who dwell in the world show him reverence.
9. For he spoke, and it came to be,commanded, and it stood in place.
10. The Lord foils the plan of nations,frustrates the designs of peoples.
11. But the plan of the Lord stands forever,the designs of his heart through all generations.
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,the people chosen as his inheritance.
13. From heaven the Lord looks downand observes the children of Adam,
14. From his dwelling place he surveysall who dwell on earth.
15. The One who fashioned together their heartsis the One who knows all their works.
16. A king is not saved by a great army,nor a warrior delivered by great strength.
