Hello,8 Let all the earth feare the Lord: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9 For he spake, and it was done: he commanded, and it stood fast. 10 The Lord bringeth the counsell of the heathen to nought: he maketh the deuices of the people, of none effect. 11 The counsaile of the Lord standeth for euer, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. 12Blessed is the nation, whose God is the Lord: and the people, whom he hath chosen for his owne inheritance.Thank you so much!!!
