Psalms 45:1-8

¹For the end, for the sons of Core; a Psalm concerning secret things.

²God is our refuge and strength, a help in the afflictions that have come heavily upon us.

³Therefore will we not fear when the earth is troubled, and the mountains are removed into the depths of the seas.

⁴Their waters have roared and been troubled, the mountains have been troubled by his might. Pause.

⁵The flowings of the river gladden the city of God: the Most High has sanctified his tabernacle.

⁶God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her with his countenance.

⁷The nations were troubled, the kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, the earth shook.

⁸The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our helper. Pause.
