|
|
4 (32-4) For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.

|
|
6 (32-6) By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:

|
|
7 (32-7) Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.

|
|
8 (32-8) Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.

|
|
10 (32-10) The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
|
10 The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
|
|
11 (32-11) But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
|
11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

|
14 from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth--
|
|
15 (32-15) He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.
|
15 he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
|
|
16 (32-16) The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
|
16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
|
|
17 (32-17) Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.

18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
|
|
19 (32-19) To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.
|

|
22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD, even as we put our hope in you.
