Salmos 47

1 A Psalm of praise for the sons of Korah on the second day of the week.

2 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised

In the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

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.

4 God is known in her palaces,

When he undertakes to help her.

5 For, behold, the kings of the earth were assembled,

They came together.

6 They saw, and so they wondered:

They were troubled, they were moved.

7 Trembling took hold on them:

There were the pangs as of a woman in travail.

8 Thou wilt break the ships of Tarshish with a vehement wind.

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.

10 We have thought of thy mercy, O God,

In the midst of thy people.

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.

12 Let Mount Zion rejoice,

Let the daughters of Judea exult,

Because of thy judgments, O Lord.

13 Go round about Zion, and encompass her:

Tell ye her towers.

14 Mark ye well her strength,

And observe her palaces;

That ye may tell the next generation.

15 For this is our God forever and ever:

He will be our guide for evermore.
