| Chapter 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. |
