Psalms 33:9-16

⁹When he spoke, the world ◄was created/started to exist►. Everything started to exist as a result of him commanding it.

¹⁰Yahweh frustrates the things that the pagan nations decide to do. He prevents them from doing the evil things that they plan to do.

¹¹But what Yahweh decides to do will last forever. What he plans to do will never be changed.

¹²Yahweh blesses those nations who choose him to be their God; He is pleased with those whom he has chosen to receive what he has promised.

¹³Yahweh looks down from heaven and sees all us people;

¹⁴from where he rules MTY, he looks down on all the people who live on the earth.

¹⁵He formed our inner beings, and he sees everything that we do.

¹⁶It is not because a king has a great army that he is able to win battles, and it is not because a soldier is very strong that he is able to defeat his enemy.
