Psalms 48:3

Psa 48:3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

Ver. 3. God is known in her palaces for a refuge ] As the city was an ornament to the whole country, so was God to the city, as being a common refuge to both; and as having his holy temple there, not a professed sanctuary for impiety, as Florus spitefully styled it, but far better deserving than Numa’s new temple in Rome did, to be called πιστοως και ειρηνης ιερον , the sacrary of faith and peace, where the true God was truly worshipped, and found to be a very present help in trouble, the best bulwark.
