Contrast of His Counsel

"The Lord bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught: He maketh the devices of the people of none effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth forever, the thoughts of His heart to all generations" (Psalm 33:10,11).

The Lord brings the counsel of nations to naught;
He makes their inventions to crumble apart.
How great is the contrast of His profound thought,
Preserved in the counsel that comes from His heart.

Thus we may know that Divine inspiration
By heaven's decree continues to stand.
The thoughts of His heart to each generation
Are thereby extended to us by God's hand.

Kingdoms will fall and strongholds will tumble,
As all who oppose God are destined to fail.
But God will give grace to those who are humble,
And those who obey Him shall surely prevail.

Though, for a season, our God may allow
The wicked to prosper, they still move toward
That day when each knee before Him shall bow
And when every tongue shall confess Him as Lord.
