Psalms 45

1 For the end, for the sons of Korah; 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 has sanctified his tabernacle.

6 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved:

God shall help her with his countenance.

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 has achieved on the earth.

10 Putting an end to wars as for 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.
