Jacob-wrestling God fights for us,
    God-of-Angel-Armies protects us.

8-10 Attention, all! See the marvels of God!
    He plants flowers and trees all over the earth,
Bans war from pole to pole,
    breaks all the weapons across his knee.
“Step out of the traffic! Take a long,
    loving look at me, your High God,
    above politics, above everything.”

Come and see what the Lord has done,(E)
    the desolations(F) he has brought on the earth.
He makes wars(G) cease
    to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow(H) and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields[a] with fire.(I)
