- Does Psalms 48:2 continue the theme in Psalms 47?
- And, in Psalms 48:3, how is the special relationship to Israel emphasized?
- Would Psalms 48:5-6 imply an attack upon God’s city (Jerusalem?) and a victorious outcome for Israel as a result of Divine action?
- What is the request of the Psalmist in Psalms 48:9?
- In Psalms 48:10-12 is the “glory of God and God’s praise” limited to Zion?
- Do the closing verses (Psalms 48:13-15) indicate confidence and total security on the part of the Psalmist, in terms of the future of Jerusalem?
- The very last phrase of the Psalm is translated in some text as “He will lead us evermore”. The literal translation of the Hebrew is that he will lead us (or guide us) until death — or to overcome death. In either case, is it the Eternal that is stressed or some other idea — or both?
