Psalms 47:3

With. Hebrew, "the beautiful situation, the joy of the whole earth, (Menochius) Sion, sides of," &c. Chaldean, "Sion, thou art beautiful as a bride." Christ's Church is thus described, Apocalypse xxi. 2. (Calmet) --- Its figure, (Haydock) the temple, was the glory of the whole country, Psalm xxv. 8., and Lamentations ii. 15. (Calmet) --- But the Church alone extends to the sides of the north, or over the world. (Worthington)
