   In Psalm 33:10, the Hiphil perfect form occurs in the clause about the LORD acting against the counsel of nations; the APB renders the verse, “The LORD frustrates the counsel of the nations; he thwarts the plans of the peoples.” In Ezekiel 17:19, the Hiphil perfect form stands in the accusation that someone despised an oath and acted against a covenant, while Psalm 89:34 uses the Hiphil imperfect in a declaration that the speaker will not act this way toward his covenant or alter what has gone from his lips.
