Context of Psalms 33:8
6By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. 7He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere him. 9For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm. 10The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
