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.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 46 of Psalms. Psalm 46 proclaims that God is a refuge amid natural catastrophes and political threats. The language of raging waters, shaking mountains, and wars creates a setting in which the most stable structures appear to disappear. Yet the city of God remains because the Lord is in its midst. The command to be still and recognize God summarizes the theme: divine sovereignty remains even when circumstances are chaotic.

Kommet her und schauet die Werke des HERRN, der auf Erden solch zerstören anrichtet,
Que hace cesar las guerras hasta los fines de la tierra: Que quiebra el arco, corta la lanza, Y quema los carros en el fuego.
Hace cesar las guerras hasta los confines de la tierra; quiebra el arco, corta la lanza y quema los carros en el fuego.
C'est lui qui a fait cesser les combats jusqu'au bout de la terre; Il a brisé l'arc, et il a rompu la lance, Il a consumé par le feu les chars de guerre. -
Egli ha fatte restar le guerre infino all’estremità della terra; Egli ha rotti gli archi, e messe in pezzi le lance, Ed arsi i carri col fuoco.
Ele faz cessar as guerras até ao fim da terra; quebra o arco e corta a lança; queima os carros no fogo.
他止息戰爭,直到地極; 他折弓、斷槍,把戰車焚燒在火中。
