Psalms 33:6-22

⁶By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.

⁷He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap; He layeth up the deeps in storehouses.

⁸Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

⁹For He spoke, and it was; He commanded, and it stood.

¹⁰The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect.

¹¹The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations.

¹²Happy is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.

¹³The LORD looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men;

¹⁴From the place of His habitation He looketh intently upon all the inhabitants of the earth;

¹⁵He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.

¹⁶A king is not saved by the multitude of a host; a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

¹⁷A horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth it afford escape by its great strength.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of the LORD is toward them that fear Him, toward them that wait for His mercy;

¹⁹To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.

²⁰Our soul hath waited for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.

²¹For in Him doth our heart rejoice, because we have trusted in His holy name.

²²Let Thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we have waited for Thee.
