psalms 48:1 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. - Free Bible Online
psalms 48:1 [A Song; a Psalm of the sons of Korah]. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
Ps 48:1-14. This is a spirited Psalm and song (compare Ps 30:1), having probably been suggested by the same occasion as the foregoing. It sets forth the privileges and blessings of God's spiritual dominion as the terror of the wicked and joy of the righteous.
1. to be praised--always: it is an epithet, as in
Ps 18:3.
mountain of his holiness--His Church (compare
Isa 2:2, 3; 25:6, 7, 10);
the sanctuary was erected first on Mount Zion, then (as the temple) on
Moriah; hence the figure.
JFB.
