Psalms 45 — BST

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