⁴For the word of the Lord is upright,
   and all his work is done in faithfulness.
⁵He loves righteousness and justice;
   the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

⁶By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
   and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
⁷He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle;
   he put the deeps in storehouses.

⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord;
   let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
⁹For he spoke, and it came to be;
   he commanded, and it stood firm.

¹⁰The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
   he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
¹¹The counsel of the Lord stands for ever,
   the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
