Salmos 48

Reina Valera 1909 (RV1909) · Español

1 Canción: Salmo de los hijos de Coré. GRANDE es Jehová y digno de ser en gran manera alabado, en la ciudad de nuestro Dios, en el monte de su santuario. 2 Hermosa provincia, el gozo de toda la tierra es el monte de Sión, á los lados del aquilón, la ciudad del gran Rey. 3 Dios en sus palacios es conocido por refugio. 4 Porque he aquí los reyes de la tierra se reunieron; pasaron todos. 5 Y viéndola ellos así, maravilláronse, se turbaron, diéronse priesa á huir. 6 Tomólos allí temblor; dolor, como á mujer que pare. 7 Con viento solano quiebras tú las naves de Tharsis. 8 Como lo oímos, así hemos visto en la ciudad de Jehová de los ejércitos, en la ciudad de nuestro Dios: afirmarála Dios para siempre. (Selah.) 9 Esperamos tu misericordia, oh Dios, en medio de tu templo. 10 Conforme á tu nombre, oh Dios, así es tu loor hasta los fines de la tierra: de justicia está llena tu diestra. 11 Alegraráse el monte de Sión; se gozarán las hijas de Judá por tus juicios. 12 Andad alrededor de Sión, y rodeadla: contad sus torres. 13 Poned vuestro corazón á su antemuro, mirad sus palacios; para que lo contéis á la generación venidera. 14 Porque este Dios es Dios nuestro eternalmente y para siempre: él nos capitaneará hasta la muerte.

Salmos 48:1

PSALM 48

Psa 48:1-14. This is a spirited Psalm and song (compare Psa 30:1), having probably been suggested by the same occasion as the foregoing. It sets forth the privileges and blessings of God's spiritual dominion as the terror of the wicked and joy of the righteous.

1. to be praised--always: it is an epithet, as in Psa 18:3.

mountain of his holiness--His Church (compare Is 2:2, 3; 25:6, 7, 10); the sanctuary was erected first on Mount Zion, then (as the temple) on Moriah; hence the figure.

Salmos 48:2-3

2-3. situation--literally, "elevation."

joy of, &c.--source of joy.

sides of the north--poetically for eminent, lofty, distinguished, as the ancients believed the north to be the highest part of the earth (compare Is 14:13).

Salmos 48:4-6

4-6. For--The reason is given. Though the kings (perhaps of Moab and Ammon, compare Psa 83:3-5) combined, a conviction of God's presence with His people, evinced by the unusual courage with which the prophets (compare 2Ch 20:12-20) had inspired them, seized on their minds, and smitten with sudden and intense alarm, they fled astonished.

Salmos 48:7

7. ships of Tarshish--as engaged in a distant and lucrative trade, the most valuable. The phrase may illustrate God's control over all material agencies, whether their literal destruction be meant or not.

Salmos 48:8

8. This present experience assures of that perpetual care which God extends to His Church.

Salmos 48:9

9. thought of--literally, "compared," or considered, in respect of former dealings.

in the ... temple--in acts of solemn worship (compare 2Ch 20:28).

Salmos 48:10

10. According ... praise--that is, As Thy perfections manifested (compare Psa 8:1; 20:1-7), demand praise, it shall be given, everywhere.

thy right hand, &c.--Thy righteous government is displayed by Thy power.

Salmos 48:11

11. the daughters, &c.--the small towns, or the people, with the chief city, or rulers of the Church.

judgments--decisions and acts of right government.

Salmos 48:12-14

12-14. The call to survey Zion, or the Church, as a fortified city, is designed to suggest "how well our God secures His fold." This security is perpetual, and its pledge is His guidance through this life.
