| # 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.
