God Ordaining Peace
Isaiah 26:12
LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have worked all our works in us.…


The expression seems to allude to the action of a commander-in-chief in the army, who marshals his soldiers according to the plan he had formed, and assigns to each the proper station which he is to occupy in carrying into execution his projected enterprises. It plainly intimates the lively hope which they felt that the supreme Disposer of all persons and events would be graciously pleased to assign for them both outward and inward tranquillity.

(R. Macculloch.)
