The Lord frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the peoples.

The Lord’s decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages.

How great are your works, O Lord! Your plans are very intricate!

The Lord knows that peoples’ thoughts are morally bankrupt.

All day long they cause me trouble; they make a habit of plotting my demise.

O Lord, my God, you have accomplished many things; you have done amazing things and carried out your purposes for us. No one can thwart you! I want to declare them and talk about them, but they are too numerous to recount!
