Psalms 29:11

The last bracha in Shemoneh Esrei is Shalom (peace) and it references this verse from Psalms. Based on this verse, Rabbi Shimon ben Chalafta teaches that peace is the only vessel large enough to hold all the blessings that G-d will bestow upon Israel. (This idea is the very last statement in the very last mishna in all of shas - Uktzin 3:12.)
