Psalms 33:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 33:12

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 He¹ 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 a¹ vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
