Psalms 47

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 A Canticle Psalm. To the sons of Korah, on the second Sabbath.	1 Unto the end, for the sons of Core.
2 The Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy, in the city of our God, on his holy mountain.	2 O clap your hands, all ye nations: shout unto God with the voice of Joy,
3 Mount Zion is being founded with the exultation of the whole earth, on the north side, the city of the great king.	3 For the Lord is high, terrible: a great king over all the earth.
4 In her houses, God will be known, since he will support her.	4 He hath subdued the people under us; and the nations under our feet.
5 For behold, the kings of the earth have been gathered together; they have convened as one.	5 He hath chosen for us his inheritance the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.
6 Such did they see, and they were astonished: they were disturbed, they were moved.	6 God is ascended with jubilee, and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.
7 Trembling took hold of them. In that place, their pains were that of a woman in labor.	7 Sing praises to our God, sing ye: sing praises to our king, sing ye.
8 With a vehement spirit, you will crush the ships of Tarshish.	8 For God is the king of all the earth: sing ye wisely.
9 As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God. God has founded it in eternity.	9 God shall reign over the nations: God sitteth on his holy throne.
10 We have received your mercy, O God, in the midst of your temple.	10 The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted.
11 According to your name, O God, so does your praise reach to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of justice.
12 Let mount Zion rejoice, and let the daughters of Judah exult, because of your judgments, O Lord.
13 Encircle Zion and embrace her. Discourse in her towers.
14 Set your hearts on her virtue. And distribute her houses, so that you may discourse of it in another generation.
15 For this is God, our God, in eternity and forever and ever. He will rule us forever.
