6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; he lays up the deeps for treasures.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it came into being.
10 The Lord brings the counsel of the Gentiles to nought; he makes the devices of the peoples of no effect.
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.
