8Let all the earth fear the Lord: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.
9For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.
10The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.
11The counsel of the Lord will stand for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.
13The Lord looketh from heaven; he seeth all the sons of men.
14From the place of his habitation he directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard to all their works.
16The king is not saved by the multitude of an army: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
