Philippians 4:7

5 Let your¹ gentleness be known to all men. ^aThe Lord is at hand.

6 ^aBe anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with ^bthanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Meditate on These Things

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are ^atrue, whatever things are ^bnoble, whatever things are ^cjust, ^dwhatever things are pure, whatever things are ^elovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and ^athe God of peace will be with you.

The peace of God (h eirhnh tou qeou). See in II Thessalonians 3:16 "the Lord of peace" (o Kuriov thv eirhnhv) and verse Philippians 4:9 for "the God of peace" (o qeov thv eirhnhv).

Shall guard (frourhsei). "Shall garrison," future active indicative of frourew, old verb from frourov (pro-oros, prooraw, to see before, to look out). See Acts 9:24; II Corinthians 11:32. God's peace as a sentinel mounts guard over our lives as Tennyson so beautifully pictures Love as doing.
