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.
13 The Lord looks down from heaven.He sees all of Adam’s descendants.
14 From the place where he sits enthroned,he looks down upon all who live on earth.
15 The one who formed their heartsunderstands everything they do.
