Psalm 47 : 2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8

Great is the Lord, most worthy of praise in the city of God, His holy mountain.

Beautifully elevated, it is the joy of all the earth – Mount Zion, heavenly mountain, the city of the great King. Here within her lines of defence, God has shown Himself to be a sure Fortress.

The kings assembled together, advanced toward the city. But as soon as they saw it, they were astounded; they panicked and took to flight.

Seized with fear, they trembled, like a woman in travail, or like the ships of Tarshish, shattered by a strong wind from the east.
