10 (47-11) According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of justice.

11 (47-12) Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; because of thy judgments, O Lord.

12 (47-13) Surround Sion, and encompass her: tell lye in her towers.

13 (47-14) Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.
