1 A Psalm of Canticle to the sons of Core, the second of the Sabbath.📜💬📚

2 Great is our Lord, and to be praised exceedingly, in the city of our God, in his holy mount.📜💬📚

3 Mount Sion is founded with the exultation of the whole earth, the sides of the North, the city of the great King.📜💬📚

4 God shall be known in the houses thereof, when he shall receive it.📜💬📚

5 For behold the kings of the earth were gathered together: they assembled in one.📜💬📚

6 They seeing it so were in admiration, were troubled, were moved:📜💬📚

7 Trembling took them. Their sorrows as a woman travailing.📜💬📚

8 In a vehement spirit thou shalt break 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 be glad, and the daughters of Juda rejoice, because of thy judgments, o Lord.📜💬📚

13 Compass Sion, and embrace ye her: tell ye in her towers.📜💬📚

14 Set your hearts on her strength: and distribute ye her houses, that you may declare it in an other generation.📜💬📚

15 Because this is God, our God for ever, and for ever and ever: he shall rule us evermore.📜💬📚
