Context of Psalms 33:11
9For he spoke, and it came into being; he commanded, and it came into existence. 10The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of his heart from generation to generation. 12Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord — the people he has chosen to be his own possession! 13The Lord looks down from heaven; he observes everyone.
