11. The counsel of the Lord stands forever,the plans of His heart from generation to generation.
12. Happy is the nation whose God is Yahweh —the people He has chosen to be His own possession!
13. The Lord looks down from heaven;He observes everyone.
14. He gazes on all the inhabitants of the earthfrom His dwelling place.
15. He alone shapes their hearts;He considers all their works.
16. A king is not saved by a large army;a warrior will not be delivered by great strength.
17. The horse is a false hope for safety;it provides no escape by its great power.
