Psalm 47

⁠

[1]⁠

A psalm of a canticle, for the sons of Core, on the second day of the week.

[2]⁠

Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

[3]⁠

With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.

[4]⁠

In her houses shall God be known, when he shall protect her.

[5]⁠

For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: they gathered together.

⁠

[6]⁠

So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved:

[7]⁠

Trembling took hold of them. There were pains as of a woman in labour.

[8]⁠

With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.

[9]⁠

As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God hath founded it for ever.

[10]⁠

We have received thy mercy, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

⁠

[11]⁠

According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.

[12]⁠

Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.

[13]⁠

Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell ye in her towers.

[14]⁠

Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.

[15]⁠

For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us for evermore.
