and all His work is done in faithfulness.
⁵ He loves righteousness and justice.
The earth is full of the love of Adonai.
⁶ By Adonai’s word were the heavens made,
and all their host by the breath of His mouth.
⁷ He gathers the waters of the sea together in a heap.
He lays up deep waters in storehouses.
⁸ Let all the earth fear Adonai.
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.
⁹ For He spoke, and it came to be.
He commanded, and it stood firm.
¹⁰ Adonai foils the purpose of the nations.
He thwarts the plans of the peoples.
¹¹ The plan of Adonai stands forever,
the purposes of His heart from generation to generation.
¹² Blessed is the nation whose God is Adonai,
the people He chose for His own inheritance.
¹³ Adonai looks down from heaven.
He observes all humanity.

on all the inhabitants of the earth—
¹⁵ He who fashions the hearts of all,
who discerns all their deeds.
¹⁶ No king is saved by his great army,
no warrior is delivered by great strength.
¹⁷ A horse is a false hope for victory,
nor can its great strength save.
¹⁸ Behold, the eyes of Adonai are on those who fear Him,
    waiting for His love,
¹⁹ to deliver their souls from death,
    and to keep them alive in famine.
²⁰ Our soul waits for Adonai—
He is our help and our shield.
²¹ Our heart rejoices in Him,
because we trusted in His holy Name.
²² Let Your lovingkindness, Adonai,
be upon us, as we have waited for You.
