Psalms 33:12

Faith

10 The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.

11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.

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.

14 From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
