A call to new song and skilful playing, 'for the word of Jehovah is right.' By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth, he spake, and it was done. He bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; his own counsel standeth fast for ever. No king is saved by the multitude of a host; a horse is a vain thing for safety. 'Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him… Our soul hath waited for Jehovah: he is our help and our shield.'
