⁴ For the word of the Lord is right,
and all His work is trustworthy.^(E)
5 He loves righteousness and justice;^(F)
the earth is full of the Lord’s unfailing love.^(G)

⁶ The heavens were made by the word of the Lord,^(H)
and all the stars, by the breath of His mouth.^(I)
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into a heap;^[a]
He puts the depths into storehouses.^(J)
8 Let the whole earth tremble before the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.^(K)
9 For He spoke, and it came into being;
He commanded, and it came into existence.^(L)

¹⁰ The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations;
He thwarts the plans of the peoples.^(M)
11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
the plans of His heart from generation to generation.^(N)
12 Happy is the nation whose God is Yahweh—
the people He has chosen to be His own possession!^(O)

¹³ The Lord looks down from heaven;
He observes everyone.^(P)
14 He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earth
from His dwelling place.^(Q)
15 He alone shapes their hearts;
He considers all their works.^(R)
16 A king is not saved by a large army;
a warrior will not be delivered by great strength.^(S)
17 The horse is a false hope for safety;
it provides no escape by its great power.^(T)

¹⁸ Now the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him—
those who depend on His faithful love^(U)
19 to deliver them from death
and to keep them alive in famine.^(V)

²⁰ We wait for Yahweh;^(W)
He is our help and shield.^(X)
21 For our hearts rejoice in Him^(Y)
because we trust in His holy name.^(Z)
22 May Your faithful love rest on us, Yahweh,
for we put our hope in You.^(AA)
