Ps.99:1 The Lord is king, be the people never so impatient: he sitteth between the cherubims, be the earth never so unquiet.
Jer.47:6 O thou sword of the Lord,… put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
Ps.20:7 Some put their trust in chariots, and some in horses : but we will remember the Name of the Lord our God.
Ps.147:14a He maketh peace in thy borders:
Ps.46:9a He maketh wars to cease in all the world:
Ps.107:31 O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!
Ps.107:32 That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people: and praise him in the seat of the elders!
