Psalms 33:9-22

⁹For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.

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

¹¹The counsel of Jehovah standeth fast for ever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations.

¹²Blessed is the nation whose God is Jehovah, The people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.

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

¹⁴From the place of his habitation he looketh forth Upon all the inhabitants of the earth,

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

¹⁶There is no king 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 he deliver any by his great power.

¹⁸Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness;

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

²⁰Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: He is our help and our shield.

²¹For our heart shall rejoice in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name.

²²Let thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, According as we have hoped in thee.
