10The Lord frustrates the counsels of the nations; he brings to nothing also the reasonings of the peoples, and brings to nothing the counsels of princes.

11But the counsel of the Lord endures for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
11The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

14From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15who fashioned their hearts alone; who understands all their works.
15he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works.
16A king is not saved by reason of a great host; and a giant shall not be delivered by the greatness of his strength.

19to deliver their souls from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
