Psalms, chapter 45

1. Unto the end, for the sons of Core, for the hidden.
2. Our God is our refuge and strength: a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
3. Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
4. Their waters roared and were troubled: the mountains were troubled with His strength.
5. The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: the most High hath sanctified His own tabernacle.
6. God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: God will help it in the morning early.
7. Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: He uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
8. The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
9. Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders He hath done upon earth,
10. Making 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.
11. Be still and see that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
12. The Lord of armies is with us: the God of Jacob is our protector.
18. I will call Thy name to remembrance in all generations;
and the peoples shall praise Thee for ever and ever.
Ps. xlvi (Vulg. xlv): God our strength. — His help never fails; with Him, there is nothing to fear (2-4). Jerusalem, His chosen dwelling-place, has experienced this (5-8); He has made Himself known by delivering her (9-12).
