29  ^jThis is the wicked man’s portion from God,

^jthe heritage decreed for him by God.”

26  when he made a decree for the rain

and ^wa way for the lightning of the thunder,

2  “I know that you can ^hdo all things,

and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

7  I will tell of the decree:

The Lord said to me, ^b“You are my Son;

today I have begotten you.

2  I cry out to God Most High,

to God who ^pfulfills his purpose for me.

5  Your ⁿdecrees are very trustworthy;

^oholiness befits your house,

O Lord, forevermore.

6  ^cWhatever the Lord pleases, he does,

in heaven and on earth,

in the seas and all deeps.

6  And he ^zestablished them forever and ever;

he gave ^aa decree, and it shall not ^bpass away.¹

24  The Lord of hosts has sworn:

^q“As I have planned,

so shall it be,

and as I have purposed,

so shall it stand,

25  that ^rI will break the Assyrian in my land,

and on my mountains trample him underfoot;

and ^shis yoke shall depart from them,

and ^shis burden from their shoulder.”

26  This is the purpose that is purposed

concerning the whole earth,

and this is ^tthe hand that is stretched out

over all the nations.

27  ^uFor the Lord of hosts has purposed,

and who will annul it?

^tHis hand is stretched out,

and who will turn it back?
