God is sovereign

The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. 1

The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. 2 He works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will. 3

The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up. The LORD sends poverty and wealth; he humbled and he exalts. 4 The Most High God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over them anyone he wishes. 5

He deposes kings and raises up others. 6 He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff. 7 He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them. 8

He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand. 9 The plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations. 10
