Prophets and Kings
“God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble....
He breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder;
He burneth the chariot in the fire.
Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be
exalted
in the earth.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our refuge.”
Psalm 46
.
“According to Thy name, O God,
So is Thy praise unto the ends of the earth:
Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
Let Mount Zion rejoice,
Let the daughters of Judah be glad,
Because of Thy judgments....
“This God is our God for ever and ever:
He will be our guide even unto death.”
Psalm 48:10-14
.
Through the faith of Judah’s ruler and of his armies “the fear of
God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard
that the Lord fought against the enemies of Israel. So the realm of
Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest.”
2 Chronicles 20:29,
