8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has made desolations in the earth.

9 ^aHe makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
^bHe breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
^cHe burns the chariot in the fire. ‡

10 Be still, and know that I am God;
^aI will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth! ‡

11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
