⁶ Whatever the Lord pleases he does,
    in heaven and on earth,
    in the seas and all deeps.^(A)

³⁵ All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing,
    and he does what he wills with the host of heaven
    and the inhabitants of the earth.
There is no one who can stay his hand
    or say to him, “What have you done?”^(A)

⁹ for he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood firm.^(A)

¹⁰ declaring the outcome from the beginning
    and from ancient times things not yet done,
saying, “My purpose shall stand,
    and I will fulfill my intention,”^(A)

¹¹ The counsel of the Lord stands forever,
    the thoughts of his heart to all generations.^(A)

⁶ who builds his upper chambers in the heavens
    and founds his vault upon the earth,
who calls for the waters of the sea
    and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
the Lord is his name.^(A)
