11 The counsel of the Lord stands for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the people whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looked from heaven; he saw all the sons of Adam.
14 From the place of his habitation he looked upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioned all of their hearts; he considers all their works.
16 The king is not saved by the multitude of the army; the mighty man does not escape by much strength.
17 A horse is a vain thing for salvation; neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
