Psalm 48
The glory and excellency of the church, ver. 1-3. Which
God preserves from her enemies, ver. 4-8. God is praised for this,
ver. 9, 10. Who effectually provides for its safety, ver. 11-14 A
song and psalm for the sons of Korah.
Verse 1. The city - In Jerusalem. Mountain - In his holy mountain.
Verse 2. The joy - This is spoken prophetically, because the joyful
doctrine of the gospel was to go from thence to all nations. The
city - Of God, who justly calls himself a great king.
Verse 3. Known - By long experience. Palaces - Possibly he may 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, protected the whole city and
people.
Verse 4. The kings - Either those kings confederate against Jehoshaphat,
2 Chron. xx, 1, or the Assyrian princes; whom they vain-
gloriously called kings, Isaiah x, 8. Passed - In their march
towards Jerusalem.
Verse 5. Saw it - They did only look upon it, but not come into it, nor
shoot an arrow there - nor cast a bank against it, 2 Kings xix, 32.
Marvelled - At the wonderful works wrought by God.
Verse 6. Fear - At the tidings of Tirhakah's coming against them, 2
Kings xix, 9, and at that terrible slaughter of their army, ver. 35.
Verse 7. Breakest - Thou didst no less violently and suddenly destroy
these raging enemies of Jerusalem, than sometimes thou
destroyest the ships at sea with a fierce and vehement wind, such
as the eastern winds were in those parts.
Verse 8. Heard - The predictions of the prophets have been verified by
the events. Establish - God will defend her in all succeeding ages.
And so God would have done, if Jerusalem had not forsaken him,
and forfeited his protection.
Verse 9. Thought - It hath been the matter of our serious and deep
meditation, when we have been worshipping in thy temple.
Verse 10. So - Thou art acknowledged to be such an one as thou hast
affirmed thyself to be in thy Word, God Almighty, or All-
sufficient, the Lord of hosts, and a strong tower to all that trust in
thee. Righteousness - Of righteous actions; by which thou
discoverest thy holiness.
Verse 11. Judgments - Upon thine and their enemies.
Verse 12. Tell - He bids them mark well her towers, bulwarks, and
palaces, with thankfulness to God, when they should find upon
enquiry, that not one of them were demolished.
Verse 13. Tell it - That they may continue their praises to God for this
mercy, by which they hold and enjoy all their blessings.
