and deliverer. Now they could sing with understanding the inspired
hymn of David:
God is our refuge and strength,

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

the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. Then the realm
of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.”
