Psalm 33:11–22

11 hThe 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 ichosen as His own inheritance.

13 jThe 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 He fashions their hearts individually;

kHe 3considers all their works.

16 lNo king is saved by the multitude of an army;

A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.

17 mA horse is a 4vain hope for safety;

Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.

18 nBehold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,

On those who hope in His mercy,

19 To deliver their soul from death,

And oto keep them alive in famine.

20 Our soul waits for the Lord;

He is our help and our shield.

21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him,

Because we have trusted in His holy name.

22 Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us,

Just as we hope in You.
