Psalms 48:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 48:4

2 ^aBeautiful in¹ elevation,
The joy of the whole earth,
Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north,
The city of the great King.

3 God is in her palaces;
He is known as her refuge.

4 For behold, ^athe kings assembled,
They passed by together.

5 They saw it, and so they marveled;
They were troubled, they hastened away.

6 Fear ^atook hold of them there,
And pain, as of a woman in birth pangs,

7 As when You break the ^aships of Tarshish
With an east wind.

8 As we have heard,
So we have seen
In the city of the Lord of hosts,
In the city of our God:
God will ^aestablish it forever. Selah

9 We have thought, O God, on ^aYour lovingkindness,
In the midst of Your temple.

10 According to ^aYour name, O God,
So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
