Psalm 45
Deus noster refugium. The church in persecution trusteth in the protection of God.
1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden.2Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.3Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.4Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with his strength.5The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.6God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.7Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.8The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.9Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth,10Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth. He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: and the shield he shall burn in the fire.11Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.12The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
