He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.
6
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
7
He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle; he put the deeps in storehouses.
8
Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
10
The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
11
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.
13
The Lord looks down from heaven; he sees all humankind.
14
From where he sits enthroned he watches all the inhabitants of the earth—
15
he who fashions the hearts of them all, and observes all their deeds.
