Psalm 45
1 For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things.
2 God is our refuge and strength,
a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.
3 Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled,
and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.
4 Their waters have roared and been troubled,
the mountains have been troubled by his might.
Pause.
5 The flowings of the river gladden the city of God:
the Most High hath sanctified his tabernacle.
6 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:
God shall help her [1]toward the morning.
7 The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered:
he uttered his voice, the earth shook.
8 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our helper.
Pause.
9 Come, and behold the works of the Lord,
what wonders he hath achieved on the earth.
10 Putting an end to wars to the ends of the earth;
he will crush the bow, and break in pieces the weapon,
and burn the bucklers with fire.
11 Be still, and know that I am God:
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
12 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our helper.
