| With the joy of the whole earth is Mount Sion founded on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
| With. Hebrew, "the beautiful situation, the joy of the whole earth, (Menochius) Sion, sides of," etc. Chaldean, "Sion, thou art beautiful as a bride." Christ's Church is thus described, Apocalypse 21:2. (Calmet) --- Its figure, (Haydock) the temple, was the glory of the whole country, Psalm 25:8., and Lamentations 2:15. (Calmet) --- But the Church alone extends to the sides of the north, or over the world. (Worthington)
