Psalm 33:6-19
New International Version
Psalm 33:6-19
New International Version
6 By the word(A) of the Lord the heavens were made,(B)
their starry host(C) by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters(D) of the sea into jars[a];(E)
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;(F)
let all the people of the world(G) revere him.(H)
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded,(I) and it stood firm.
10 The Lord foils(J) the plans(K) of the nations;(L)
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm(M) forever,
the purposes(N) of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,(O)
the people he chose(P) for his inheritance.(Q)
13 From heaven the Lord looks down(R)
and sees all mankind;(S)
14 from his dwelling place(T) he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms(U) the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.(V)
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;(W)
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse(X) is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes(Y) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,(Z)
19 to deliver them from death(AA)
and keep them alive in famine.(AB)

- Psalm 33:7 Or sea as into a heap
Psalm 33:6-19
King James Version
Psalm 33:6-19
King James Version
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
11 The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
