7. He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;he puts the deep into storehouses.
8. Let all the earth fear the Lord;let all the people of the world revere him.
9. For he spoke, and it came to be;he commanded, and it stood firm.
10. The Lord foils the plans of the nations;he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11. But the plans of the Lord stand firm for ever,the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,the people he chose for his inheritance.
13. From heaven the Lord looks downand sees all mankind;
14. from his dwelling-place he watchesall who live on earth –
15. he who forms the hearts of all,who considers everything they do.
16. No king is saved by the size of his army;no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
