Psalms 45:1-12

Haydock's commentary on this chapter

Deus noster refugium. The church in persecution trusteth in the protection of God.

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.
