11. The Lord’s decisions stand forever;his plans abide throughout the ages.
12. How blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,the people whom he has chosen to be his special possession.
13. The Lord watches from heaven;he sees all people.
14. From the place where he lives he looks carefullyat all the earth’s inhabitants.
15. He is the one who forms every human heart,and takes note of all their actions.
16. No king is delivered by his vast army;a warrior is not saved by his great might.
17. A horse disappoints those who trust in it for victory;despite its great strength, it cannot deliver.
18. Look, the Lord takes notice of his loyal followers,those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness
