| as a mound. Heb. כנד, an expression of height, and so did Onkelos render (Exod. 15:8): נצבו כמו נד, they stood up like a wall, and so did Menachem (p. 121, missing) explain it. נד and נאד do not have the same meaning. |

| 9For He said and it came about; He commanded and it endured. |
|
טכִּ֚י ה֣וּא אָמַ֣ר וַיֶּ֑הִי הֽוּא־צִ֜וָּ֗ה וַֽיַּֽעֲמֹֽד: |

|
ייְהֹוָ֗ה הֵ֖פִיר עֲצַ֣ת גּוֹיִ֑ם הֵ֜נִ֗יא מַחְשְׁב֥וֹת עַמִּֽים: |
| 11The counsel of the Lord shall endure forever; the plans of His heart to all generations. |

| He Who forms their hearts together. All of their hearts together and knows all the thoughts. Our Sages, however, explain that it refers back to “From His dwelling place, the Creator oversees their hearts together,” and they derived from here that all are examined with a single glance (Rosh Hashana 18a). |

לב כלם יחד ויודע כל המחשבות ורבותינו הסיבוהו אל ממכון שבתו השגיח היוצר יחד לבם, ודרשו מכאן שכולן נסקרין בסקירה אחת:
|
| 16The king is not saved with a vast army; a mighty man will not be rescued with great strength. |
|

| 19to rescue their soul from death and to sustain them in famine. |
|
יטלְהַצִּ֣יל מִמָּ֣וֶת נַפְשָׁ֑ם וּלְחַיּוֹתָ֥ם בָּֽרָעָֽב: |
| 20Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. |
