¹¹ But the plans of the Lord stand firm^(D) forever,
    the purposes^(E) of his heart through all generations.

¹⁰ I make known the end from the beginning,^(A)
    from ancient times,^(B) what is still to come.^(C)
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,^(D)

What I have said, that I will bring about;
    what I have planned,^(G) that I will do.^(H)
