Context of Psalms 33:11
9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 10The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, 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 own inheritance. 13The Lord looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
