8
Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all [the] inhabitants of [the] world stand in awe of him.
9
For {he himself spoke} and it came to pass. {He himself commanded} and it stood firm.
10
Yahweh brings to nothing [the] plan of nations; he frustrates [the] intents of peoples.
11
The plan of Yahweh stands firm forever, the intents of his heart {from one generation to the next}.
12
Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] Yahweh, the people he has chosen for his inheritance.
13
From heaven Yahweh looks; he sees all the children of humankind.
14
From his dwelling place he gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15
he who fashions altogether their heart, he who understands all their works.
16
The king [is] not saved by [the] greatness of an army. The warrior is not delivered by [the] greatness of strength.
17
The horse [is] a false hope for victory, nor can it save by the greatness of its power.
18
Behold, the eye of Yahweh [is] on those who fear him, on those who hope for his loyal love

Psalms 33:8-18 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 33
Though this psalm has no title to it, it seems to be a psalm of David, from the style and matter of it; and indeed begins with the same words with which the preceding psalm is ended. Theodoret is of opinion it was written by David as a prophecy concerning Hezekiah, as a song to be sung by the people after the destruction of the Assyrian army.
