The church in persecution trusteth in the protection of God. > > — Bp. Richard Challoner, chapter summary ## Psalm 45 (Catholic Public Domain Version) 1. Unto the end. To the sons of Korah, for confidants. A Psalm. 2. Our God is our refuge and strength, a helper in the tribulations that have greatly overwhelmed us. 3. Because of this, we will not be afraid when the earth will be turbulent and the mountains will be transferred into the heart of the sea. 4. They thundered, and the waters were stirred up among them; the mountains have been disturbed by his strength. 5. The frenzy of the river rejoices the city of God. The Most High has sanctified his tabernacle. 6. God is in its midst; it will not be shaken. God will assist it in the early morning. 7. The peoples have been disturbed, and the kingdoms have been bowed down. He uttered his voice: the earth has been moved. 8. The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter. 9. Draw near and behold the works of the Lord: what portents he has set upon the earth, 10. carrying away wars even to the end of the earth. He will crush the bow and break the weapons, and he will burn the shield with fire. 11. Be empty, and see that I am God. I will be exalted among the peoples, and I will be exalted upon the earth. 12. The Lord of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our supporter. ## Psalm 45 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592) 1. In finem, filiis Core, pro arcanis. Psalmus. 2. Deus noster refugium et virtus; adjutor in tribulationibus quæ invenerunt nos nimis. 3. Propterea non timebimus dum turbabitur terra, et transferentur montes in cor maris. 4. Sonuerunt, et turbatæ sunt aquæ eorum; conturbati sunt montes in fortitudine ejus. 5. Fluminis impetus lætificat civitatem Dei: sanctificavit tabernaculum suum Altissimus. 6. Deus in medio ejus, non commovebitur; adjuvabit eam Deus mane diluculo. 7. Conturbatæ sunt gentes, et inclinata sunt regna: dedit vocem suam, mota est terra. 8. Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob. 9. Venite, et videte opera Domini, quæ posuit prodigia super terram, 10. auferens bella usque ad finem terræ. Arcum conteret, et confringet arma, et scuta comburet igni. 11. Vacate, et videte quoniam ego sum Deus; exaltabor in gentibus, et exaltabor in terra. 12. Dominus virtutum nobiscum; susceptor noster Deus Jacob. ## The saints - “Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.” — St. John Chrysostom, Homily on Matthew, 19, c. 390 (On this theme: verse 1) - “Come now, little man, turn aside for a while from your daily employment, escape for a moment from the tumult of your thoughts.
