11. But the plan of the Lord stands forever,the designs of his heart through all generations.
12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,the people chosen as his inheritance.
13. From heaven the Lord looks downand observes the children of Adam,
14. From his dwelling place he surveysall who dwell on earth.
15. The One who fashioned together their heartsis the One who knows all their works.
16. A king is not saved by a great army,nor a warrior delivered by great strength.
