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!
