Argument.

God ceaseth wars, proclaims his power, Is Israel's refuge and high Tower.

THE works of God O come and see
How mild he makes the Earth to be;
He ceaseth wars to earths far ends,
He breaks the bow, the spear he rends.

He breaks asunder steel entire,
He burns the Charriot in the fire,
Be still and know that I am God
To be exalted all abroad.

Heathens (saith he) shall set me forth,
I'll be exalted in the Earth,
The Lord of hosts is with us still,
The God of Jacob our high hill.

Psalm 106.48.

Let Israel's God be blest therefore From first to last for evermore; And let all people joyntly then Give him renown and say Amen.
