yea, and we may see at the very time when he doth prosper his people,

sparing their lives, and delivering them out of the hands of their enemies;

softening the hearts of their enemies

that they should not declare wars against them;

yea, and in fine, doing all things for the welfare and happiness of his people;

Amen.
