6 The heavens were made by the word of the Lordand all the stars by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the water in the sea like a damand puts the oceans in his storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord.Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him.
9 He spoke, and it came into being.He gave the order, and there it stood.
10 The Lord blocks the plans of the nations.He frustrates the schemes of the people of the world.
11 The Lord’s plan stands firm forever.His thoughts stand firm in every generation.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.Blessed are the people he has chosen as his own.
