| Psalms 47:2
| Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
| City, or temple, which lay to the north of old Jerusalem, on Sion. (Calmet) --- Yet Genebrard, etc., place this mountain south of Salem. (Menochius) --- The concourse of priests and people gave it the appearance of a great city, Ezechiel 40:2., and Isaias 14:13. --- The Church is built upon a rock. [Matthew 16:18.] (Calmet) --- The Jews and Christians are under the greatest obligation of praising God. (Worthington)
