7 The Lord himself doth take our part, Who doth all hosts [and powers] command; For our sure refuge Jacob's God, As our high place doth [alway] stand.
8 Come and behold what wondrous works The Lord [himself] hath for us wrought; What desolations on the earth His [dreadful] executions brought.
9 Through all the earth he makes war cease, And into [wished] peace it turns; He breaks the bow, he cuts the spear, With fire the [warlike] chariot burns.
10 Be still, and know that I am God▪ And will [o'er all] exalted be; The heathen shall exalt my name, [And all] the earth shall honour me.
10 Be still, and know that I am God▪ And will [o're all] exalted be; The heathen shall exalt my name, [And all] the earth shall honour me.
