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