5 The Lord promotes equity and justice;the Lord’s faithfulness extends throughout the earth.
6 By the Lord’s decree the heavens were made;by a mere word from his mouth all the stars in the sky were created.
7 He piles up the water of the sea;he puts the oceans in storehouses.
8 Let the whole earth fear the Lord!Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him!
9 For he spoke, and it came into existence,he issued the decree, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord frustrates the decisions of the nations;he nullifies the plans of the peoples.
11 The Lord’s decisions stand forever;his plans abide throughout the ages.
