Psalm 33:4–11

4 For the word of the Lord is right,

and all his work is trustworthy.ad

5 He loves righteousness and justice;ae

the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love.af

6 The heavens were made by the word of the Lord,ag

and all the stars, by the breath of his mouth.ah

7 He gathers the water of the sea into a heap;A

he puts the depths into storehouses.ai

8 Let the whole earth fear the Lord;

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.a

9 For he spoke, and it came into being;

he commanded, and it came into existence.b

10 The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations;

he thwarts the plans of the peoples.c

11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,

the plans of his heart from generation to generation.d
