John Trapp on Psalms 46:9

Verſ. 9. He maketh Warres to ceaſe] As the Lord putteth the Sword in Commiſſion, bathing it in Heaven; ſo he can quiet it, and command it up at his pleaſure. He did ſo when Siſera was ſlain, and when Sexnacherib. The Church hath her Halcyous.

He breaketh the bow, &c.] No weapon formed againſt thee ſhall proſper, Iſa. 54.17. The Spaniſh Armada was ſet forth with infinite labour and expence; but ſoon diſperſed and defeated.

He burneth the Chariots] Inquibus inſtrumenta bellica vel victualia pro militibus circumgeſtant, ſaith Aben-Ezra, i. e. their carriages for ammunition, and proviſions.
