11. The Lord’s plan stands firm forever.His thoughts stand firm in every generation.
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.Blessed are the people he has chosen as his own.
13. The Lord looks down from heaven.He sees all of Adam’s descendants.
14. From the place where he sits enthroned,he looks down upon all who live on earth.
15. The one who formed their heartsunderstands everything they do.
16. No king achieves a victory with a large army.No warrior rescues himself by his own great strength.
17. Horses are not a guarantee for victory.Their great strength cannot help someone escape.
18. The Lord’s eyes are on those who fear him,on those who wait with hope for his mercy
19. to rescue their souls from deathand keep them alive during a famine.
20. We wait for the Lord.He is our help and our shield.
