He gave the order, and there it stood. | 9 For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm. | 9 For he spoke, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. | 10 The LORD nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. | 10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. | 10 The LORD blocks the plans of the nations. He frustrates the schemes of the people of the world. | 10 Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing.

He sees all the sons of men. | 13 Jehovah looketh from the heavens; he beholdeth all the sons of men: | 14 From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth, | 14 From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. | 14 From the place where he sits enthroned, he looks down upon all who live on earth. | 14 From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, | 14 From the place of his habitation he looketh forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth; | 15 He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works. | 15 He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works. | 15 The one who formed their hearts understands everything they do. | 15 he who fashions all of their hearts; and he considers all of their works. | 15 He who fashioneth the hearts of them all, who considereth all their works. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |
| 16 The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. | 16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. | 16 No king achieves a victory with a large army. No warrior rescues himself by his own great strength. | 16 There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. | 16 The king is not saved by the multitude of his forces; a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. | 17 A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. | 17 An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. | 17 Horses are not a guarantee for victory. Their great strength cannot help someone escape. | 17 A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power. | 17 The horse is a vain thing for safety; neither doth he deliver by his great power. | 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, | 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; | 18 The LORD's eyes are on those who fear him, on those who wait with hope for his mercy | 18 Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his loving kindness; | 18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his loving-kindness, | 19 To deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine. | 19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. | 19 to rescue their souls from death and keep them alive during a famine. | 19 to deliver their soul from death, to keep them alive in famine. | 19 To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine. | 20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. | 20 Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield. | 20 We wait for the LORD. He is our help and our shield. | 20 Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield. | 20 Our soul waiteth for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield. | NASB | KJV | GWT | WEB | DBY |

In his holy name we trust. | 21 For our heart rejoices in him, because we have trusted in his holy name. | 21 For in him shall our heart rejoice, because we have confided in his holy name. | 22 Let Your lovingkindness, O LORD, be upon us, According as we have hoped in You. | 22 Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. | 22 Let your mercy rest on us, O LORD, since we wait with hope for you. | 22 Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, since we have hoped in you.
