Psalm 48
1. The ornaments and privileges of the church














(9) Thy temple.--This verse seems to indicate a liturgic origin for the psalm.

Verse 9. - We have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple. Jehoshaphat, on his return to Jerusalem from the scene of his adversaries' slaughter, held a thanksgiving service in the temple, "with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets," because the Lord had made the people to rejoice over their enemies (2 Chronicles 20:27, 28).
