Psalms 46

Psalms 46:4

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God.

Let the sea of this world roar and be never so unquiet, the holy city Jerusalem, the type of God’s Church, hath a little river, even Gilhon or Kidron, whose calm and gentle streams shall abundantly refresh it: and the mystical Jerusalem hath both the waters of life, the word of the everliving God, to comfort and satisfy it here; and those living waters of life eternal in the Paradise of God, to make it everlastingly happy.

Psalms 46:9

He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in pieces; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

He can, when he pleaseth, put an end to those broils and tyrannous oppositions and persecutions, wherewith his Church is wont to be infested, and can cause the enemies thereof to be still.
