6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
A Psalm of confidence in having God’s presence with us. He is at the back of all things and there-fore the wildest appearance need not alarm us. Verses 4 and 5 speak of the Holy City and the River of Life, and the Supreme Secret called the Tabernacle of God. This is on the same lines as Ps. XLV and XXIX. The way in which the ideas and nomenclature of the Divine School R.C. are carried out throughout the Psalms is extremely to be observed. Students in the School should note this. It is a magnificent proof of the Unity of Divine Teaching. Again see the call carefully to observe the works of God (verse 8). This is the basal principle of School RC.
