Context of Psalms 33:8
6By the word of Yhwh were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. Let all the earth fear Yhwh: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast. 10Yhwh bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.
