Psalms 48:8

Verse Psalms 48:8. As we have heard, so have we seen] Our fathers have declared what mighty works thou didst in their time; and we have seen the same. God has often interposed and afforded us a most miraculous defence. So it was when they were invaded by the Assyrians, Syrians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Persians and the Greeks under Alexander.

The city of the Lord of hosts] His hosts defended the city, and it was known to be the City of the great King.

God will establish it for ever.] This must refer to the true temple, the Christian Church, of which the Jewish Church was a type. The type perished, but the antitype remained, and will remain till time shall be no more.

Selah.] So be it; and so it will be for evermore.
