1 A Psalme of Canticle to the sonnes of Core, the second of the Sabbath.
2 GREAT is our Lord, and to be praysed excedingly in the citie of our God, in his holie mount.
3 Mount Sion is founded with the exultation of the whole earth, the sides of the North, the citie of the great king.
4 God shal be knowen in the houses therof, when he shal receiue it.
5 For behold the kings of the earth were gathered together: they assembled in one.
6 They seing it so, were in admiration, were trubled, were moued: 7 trembling tooke them.
Their sorowes as a woman traueling, 8 In a vehement spirit thou shalt breake the shippes of Tharsis.
9 As we haue heard, so haue we seene in the citie of the Lord of hostes, in the citie of our God: God hath founded it for euer.
10 We have receiued thy mercie, ô God, in the middes of thy temple.
11 According to thy name ô God, so also is thy prayse vnto the endes of the earth: thy right hand is ful of iustice.
12 Let mount Sion be glad, and the daughters of Iuda reioyce, because of thy iudgmentes ô Lord
13 Compasse Sion, and embrace ye her: tel ye in her towers.
14 Set your hartes 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 euer, and for euer and euer: he shal rule vs euermore.
