Psalms 33:11
9 For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance!
13 The LORD looks down from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
