Summary: The psalm's promise that God ends wars has been fulfilled.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:448

“δεῦτε καὶ ἴδετε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ κυρίου, ἃ ἔθετο τέρατα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἀνταναιρῶν πολέμους μέχρι τῶν περάτων τῆς οἰκουμένης· τόξον συντρίψει καὶ συνθλάσει ὅπλον, καὶ θυρεοὺς κατακαύσει ἐν πυρί·’’ ἐφʼ οἶς εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐναργῶς πεπληρωμένοις χαίροντες τὸν ἐφεξῆς συνείρωμεν λόγον.

English · Claude translation

“Come and see the works of the Lord, what wonders he has done on the earth, taking away wars to the ends of the world; he will break the bow and shatter the weapon, and burn the shields with fire.” Rejoicing that these things have been clearly fulfilled for us, let us continue our account in order.
