8. Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
10. The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.
13. The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men;
14. From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth,
15. He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.
16. The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
17. A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
18. Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
19. To deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine.
