8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; 8 let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be; 9 he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations; 10 he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, 11 the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, 12 the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down 13 and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches 14 all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all, 15 who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army; 16 no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; 17 despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, 18 on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death 19 and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the Lord; 20 he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice, 21 for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, 22 even as we put our hope in you.
