Psalms 47:4-9

⁴For, behold the kings of the earth were assembled, they came together.

⁵They saw, and so they wondered: they were troubled, they were moved.

⁶Trembling took hold on them: there were the pangs as of a woman in travail.

⁷You will break the ships of Tharsis with a vehement wind.

⁸As 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 for ever. Pause.

⁹We have thought of your mercy, O God, in the midst of your people.
