Psalms 48:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He speaketh, either,

1. To the enemies, as triumphing over them. Or rather,

2. To the people of that city and kingdom, who had been eye-witnesses of this glorious work of God, as appears from the following verses. He bids them mark well her towers, bulwarks, and palaces, here, and Psalms 48:13, not with vain ostentation, or carnal confidence, for he had said that God only was their refuge, Psalms 48:3; but with thankfulness to God, when they should find upon inquiry, that not one of them was demolished or any way defaced by so potent an enemy.

Psalms 48:12

12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
