[a]For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord thwarts the plans of nations
    and frustrates the designs of peoples.
11 But the plan of the Lord remains forever,
    the designs of his heart for all generations.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 33:9 Whatever God spoke came into existence (see Heb 11:3). Everything reflects his wise rule. The nations are completely under his control (see Prov 19:21; 21:30; Isa 8:10; 19:17; 46:10f; Jer 29:11; Mic 4:12). God’s providence works out his purposes. Heart: see note on Ps 4:8.
