Psalms 47 — UBES

47Verse 1A Psalm of praise for the sons of Korah on the second day of the week.^{Verse 2}Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
^{Verse 3}The city of the great King
Is well planted on the mountains of Zion,
With the joy of the whole earth, on the sides of the north.
^{Verse 4}God is known in her palaces,
When he undertakes to help her.^{Verse 5}For, behold, the kings of the earth were assembled,
They came together.
^{Verse 6}They saw, and so they wondered:
They were troubled, they were moved.
^{Verse 7}Trembling took hold on them:
There were the pangs as of a woman in travail.
^{Verse 8}Thou wilt break the ships of Tarshish with a vehement wind.
^{Verse 9}As we have heard, so have we also seen,
In the city of the Lord of hosts,
In the city of our God:
God has founded it forever. Pause.^{Verse 10}We have thought of thy mercy, O God,
In the midst of thy people.
^{Verse 11}According to thy name, O God,
So is also thy praise to the ends of the earth:
Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
^{Verse 12}Let Mount Zion rejoice,
Let the daughters of Judea exult,
Because of thy judgments, O Lord.^{Verse 13}Go round about Zion, and encompass her:
Tell ye her towers.
^{Verse 14}Mark ye well her strength,
And observe her palaces;
That ye may tell the next generation.
^{Verse 15}For this is our God forever and ever:
He will be our guide for evermore.
