6 aBy the word of the
Lord the heavens were made,
And all the
bhost of them
cby the breath of His mouth.
7 aHe gathers the waters of the sea together
1 as a heap;
He lays up the deep in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the
Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
9 For
aHe spoke, and it was
done;He commanded, and it stood fast.
10 aThe
Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
11 aThe counsel of the
Lord stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed
is the nation whose God
is the
Lord,
The people He has
achosen as His own inheritance.
13 aThe
Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He
1 fashions their hearts individually;
aHe considers all their works.
16 aNo king
is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 aA horse
is a
1 vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver
any by its great strength.
