32:5 He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
32:6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
32:7 Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.
32:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
32:9 For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.
32:10 The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.

32:16 The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
32:17 Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
32:18 Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.
32:19 To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.
32:20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.
32:21 For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.
32:22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hooped in thee.
