9 As soon as he spokethe world was created;at his command,the earth was formed.
10 The Lord destroys the plansand spoils the schemesof the nations.
11 But what the Lord has plannedwill stand for ever.His thoughts never change.
12 The Lord blesses each nationthat worships only him.He blesses his chosen ones.
13 The Lord looks at the world
14 from his throne in heaven,and he watches us all.
15 The Lord gave us each a mind,and nothing we docan be hidden from him.
