Context of Psalms 33:11
9For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. 10The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He makes the thoughts and plans of the people ineffective. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The thoughts and plans of His heart through all generations. 12Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen as His own inheritance. 13The Lord looks [down] from heaven; He sees all the sons of man;
