10. Be still, and know that I am God. Hold off
your hands, enemies! Sit down and wait in patience, believers! Acknowledge that
Jehovah is God, you who feel the terrors of his wrath! Adore him, and him only,
you who partake in the protections of his grace. Since none can worthily
proclaim his nature, let “expressive
silence muse his praise.” The
boasts of the ungodly and the timorous forebodings of the saints should
certainly be hushed by a sight of what the Lord has done in past ages. Iwill be exalted among the heathen. They forget God, they worship idols, but
Jehovah will yet be honored by them. The prospects of missions are as bright as
the promises of God. I will be exalted in the earth, among all people;
whatever may have been their wickedness or their degradation, either by terror
or love God will subdue all hearts to himself. The whole round earth will yet
reflect the light of his majesty.
