Psalms 48:11 - Calvin's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

11 Mount Zion shall rejoice The Psalmist now concludes his exhortation to rejoicing, telling us that Jerusalem and the other cities of Judea shall have cause to commend the righteousness of God, (202) because they had found from undoubted experience that he was the protector of their welfare. He here makes use of the word judgment, because God, who undertook the cause of his Church, openly showed that he was the enemy of her oppressors, and that he would repress their presumption and audacity.

(202) “ Auront matiere de liesse.” — Fr. “Shall have matter of gladness.”
