God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
Ver. 3. God is known in her palaces for a refuge] As the city was an ornament to the whole country, so was God to the city, as being a common refuge to both; and as having his holy temple there, not a professed sanctuary for impiety, as Florus spitefully styled it, but far better deserving than Numa's new temple in Rome did, to be called πιστοως και ειρηνης ιερον, the sacrary of faith and peace, where the true God was truly worshipped, and found to be a very present help in trouble, the best bulwark.
