7. The Lord of hosts is with us. This is the reason for all Zion’s security, and for the overthrow of
her foes. The Lord rules the angels, the stars, the elements, and all the hosts
of heaven; and the heaven of heavens is under his sway. The armies of men
though they know it not are made to subserve his will. Woe unto those who fight
against him, for they shall fly like smoke before the wind when he gives the
word to scatter them. The God of Jacob is our refuge. Immanuel is
Jehovah of Hosts, and Jacob’s God is our high place of defense. When this glad
verse is sung to music worthy of such a jubilate, well may the singers pause;
here, therefore, fitly stands that solemn stately, peaceful note of rest, Selah.
