6 Verbo Domini cæli firmati sunt, et spiritu oris ejus omnis virtus eorum.

8 Timeat Dominum omnis terra; ab eo autem commoveantur omnes inhabitantes orbem.
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.
9 Quoniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit et creata sunt.
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.
10 Dominus dissipat consilia gentium; reprobat autem cogitationes populorum, et reprobat consilia principum.
The LORD frustrates the plans of the nations; He thwarts the devices of the peoples.
11 Consilium autem Domini in æternum manet; cogitationes cordis ejus in generatione et generationem.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations.
12 Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem elegit in hæreditatem sibi.

From His dwelling place He gazes on all who inhabit the earth.
15 qui finxit sigillatim corda eorum; qui intelligit omnia opera eorum.
He shapes the hearts of each; He considers all their works.
16 Non salvatur rex per multam virtutem, et gigas non salvabitur in multitudine virtutis suæ.
No king is saved by his vast army; no warrior is delivered by his great strength.
17 Fallax equus ad salutem; in abundantia autem virtutis suæ non salvabitur.
A horse is a vain hope for salvation; even its great strength cannot save.
18 Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum, et in eis qui sperant super misericordia ejus:
Surely the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His loving devotion
19 ut eruat a morte animas eorum, et alat eos in fame.
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
20 Anima nostra sustinet Dominum, quoniam adjutor et protector noster est.
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 Quia in eo lætabitur cor nostrum, et in nomine sancto ejus speravimus.
For our hearts rejoice in Him, since we trust in His holy name.
22 Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.
May Your loving devotion rest on us, O LORD, as we put our hope in You.
