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.
