Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 48:1-14

Psalms 48:0A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praisedIn the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth,Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north,The city of the great King.3 God is knownIn her palaces for a refuge.4 For, lo, the kings were assembled,They passed by together.5 They saw it, and so they marvelled;They were troubled, and hasted away.6 Fear took hold upon... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Psalms 48:1-14

Psalms A SONG OF DELIVERANCE Psa_48:1 - Psa_48:14 . The enthusiastic triumph which throbs in this psalm, and the specific details of a great act of deliverance from a great peril which it contains, sufficiently indicate that it must have had some historical event as its basis. Can we identify the fact which is here embalmed? The psalm gives these points-a formidable muster before Jerusalem of hostile people under confederate kings, with the purpose of laying siege to the city; some... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 48:1-14

“The City of Our God” Psalms 48:1-14 This psalm also probably dates from 2 Chronicles 20:20 . Tekoa was only three hours’ march from Jerusalem and commanded an extensive view, so that Psalms 48:4-5 were literally true. The psalmist celebrates the beauty and glory of Zion, Psalms 48:1-3 . The Church today is the City of the great King. Apart from God, the fairest palace is no refuge; but a cottage becomes a palace if God is known and loved there. Judah’s recent deliverance is gratefully... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 48:1-14

In Psa 46:1-11 the dominant note was of confidence, because of the government of God in the midst of His people. This is a song describing the experience resulting from such government. It is the anthem of a city's deliverance from an alliance of hostile kings. The beauty and glory of the city remain, notwithstanding the foes attack. The intervention of God was of such a nature that the attack failed ere it positively began. The kings assembled themselves, They passed by together. They were... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 48:8

THE CITY OF OUR GOD‘As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever.’Psalms 48:8 I. First, ‘we have heard’ of the honour of the Church as included in that testimony of Jesus which is the spirit of prophecy, the very groundwork of the Psalter.—We hear our Lord’s own predictions about His Church, His accomplishment of His own prophetic psalms—those psalms in which ages beforehand He prepared men to realise what the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 48:1-3

The Greatness of God And The Beauty Of The Place Which Represents His Dwelling Among Men (Psalms 48:1-3 ). Psalms 48:13 ‘Great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, in his holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, The city of the great King. God has made himself known in her palaces for a refuge.’ We should note here that while Mount Zion is being admired, it is not Mount Zion but the Great God Himself... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 48:4-7

The Nations Quail Before The Power of God In His Holy Hill (Psalms 48:4-7 ). The glory of the dwellingplace of the Great God is such that the nations quail before Him. Though they may assemble themselves against His people and approach them with hostile purpose, once they recognise what they are fighting against they quail before it and fade away. This had proved true of Sennacherib and his forces. It would always prove true for whoever came against Jerusalem, because God was with them.... read more

God’s People Rejoice In The Security Of The City Of God Now Evidenced Not Just By Hearsay But Also By What They Had Themselves Seen (Psalms 48:8 ). Psalms 48:8 ‘As we have heard, so have we seen, In the city of YHWH of hosts, In the city of our God, God will establish it for ever. [Selah The deliverance having taken place, and the enemy having faded away, God’s people triumphantly declare that they have now seen with their own eyes the delivering power of God revealed on behalf of His people.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 48:1-14

XLVIII. A Psalm which Describes the Impression made on a Pilgrim by his Visit to Zion. Psalms 48:1 f. Praise of Zion.— sides of the north is hard to comprehend. It has been explained as contrasting Zion, the true mountain of the North, with the Oriental Olympus ( Isaiah 14:13). The text, however, does not even hint at any such contrast. Mount Zion did indeed occupy the NE. corner of Jerusalem, but what of that? It has been suggested that the pilgrim came from the extreme S. of Egypt. But... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 48:3

God is known to his people by sensible and long experience, and to all neighbouring nations by their own observation. In her palaces, i. e in the habitations, or to the inhabitants of that city. Possibly he may here point at the king’s palace and the temple, which was the palace of the King of heaven; which two palaces God did in a singular manner protect, and by protecting them he protected the whole city and people. For a refuge; under whose shadow we are more safe and secure, than other... read more
