Context of Psalms 33:11
9For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. 10The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations. 12Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance. 13The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men.
