Psalms, 45
The church in persecution trusteth in the protection of God.
Deus noster refugium.
[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. •
