8. Let all the earth fear the Lord;let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!
9. For he spoke, and it came to be;he commanded, and it stood firm.
10. The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11. The counsel of the Lord stands forever,the plans of his heart to all generations.
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!
13. The Lord looks down from heaven;he sees all the children of man;
14. from where he sits enthroned he looks outon all the inhabitants of the earth,
15. he who fashions the hearts of them alland observes all their deeds.
16. The king is not saved by his great army;a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
