Psalms 48:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 48:3

1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
In the ^acity of our God,
In His holy mountain.

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
