Selah. 8Come, behold the workes of the Lord, what desolations hee hath made in the earth. 9He maketh warres to cease vnto the end of the earth: hee breaketh the bow, and cutteth the speare in sunder, he burneth the chariot in the fire. 10Be stil, and know that I am God: I will bee exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
