10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought: he maketh the thoughts of the peoples to be of none effect.
11 The counsel of the LORD standeth fast for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men;
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
