8. Let the whole world fear the lord,and let everyone stand in awe of him.
9. For when he spoke, the world began!It appeared at his command.
10. The lord frustrates the plans of the nationsand thwarts all their schemes.
11. But the lord’s plans stand firm forever;his intentions can never be shaken.
12. What joy for the nation whose God is the lord,whose people he has chosen as his inheritance.
13. The lord looks down from heavenand sees the whole human race.
