Psalms 33:8-19

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 done ; he commanded, and it stood fast.

¹⁰The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught: he maketh the devices of the people of no effect.

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

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and 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 upon all the inhabitants of the earth.

¹⁵He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.

¹⁶There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

¹⁷A horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;

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