10 The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: and
maketh the devices of the people to be of none effect, and casteth
out the counsels of princes.
11 The counsel of the Lord shall endure for ever: and the thoughts
of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Blessed are the people, whose God is the Lord Jehovah: and
blessed are the folk, that he hath chosen to him, to be his
inheritance.
13 The Lord looked down from heaven, and beheld all the children
of men: from the habitation of his dwelling he considereth all them
that dwell on the earth.
14 He fashioneth all the hearts of them: and understandeth all
their works.
15 There is no king that can be saved by the multitude of an host:
neither is any mighty man delivered by much strength.
16 A horse is counted but a vain thing to save a man: neither shall
he deliver any man by his great strength.
17 Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him: and
upon them that put their trust in his mercy;
18 To deliver their soul from death: and to feed them in the time
of dearth.
19 Our soul hath patiently tarried for the Lord: for he is our help
and our shield.
20 For our heart shall rejoice in him: because we have hoped in his
holy Name.
21 Let thy merciful kindness, O Lord, be upon us: like as we do
put our trust in thee.
PSALM 34. _Benedicam Dominum_.
I will alway give thanks unto the Lord: his praise shall ever be
in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad.
