The Gentiles are invited to praise God for the establishment of the kingdom of Christ.
“Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.”(Psalms 45:2)
Trials are expected; however, the Lord will provide strength to endure it.
“‘Our God is a refuge and strength’ (ver. 1). There are some refuges wherein is no strength, whereto when any fleeth, he is more weakened than strengthened… Yet so great are this world’s uncertainties, and so frequent grow the ruins of the powerful day by day, that when to such refuge thou art come, thou beginnest to fear more than ever therein. …Our refuge is not such, but our refuge is strength. When thither we have fled, we shall be firm.” – St. Augustine
“The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.” (Psalms 45:12)
We are to be still and know God to allow His work in us.
“What then followeth? ‘Be still.’ To what purpose? ‘And see that I am God’ (ver. 10). That is, Not ye, but I am God. I created, I create anew; I formed, I form anew; I made, I make anew. If thou couldest not make thyself, how canst thou make thyself anew? This seeth not the contentious tumult of man’s soul; to which contentious tumult is it said, ‘Be still.’ That is, restrain your souls from contradiction. Do not argue, and, as it were, arm against God.” – St. Augustine
