Psalms 48:13 - Exposition

Mark ye well her bulwarks (or, her ramparts ), consider her palaces . Note the height and fine masonry of her outer wall, which no people could destroy except the Romans ( Nehemiah 1:3 ; Nehemiah 2:13-17 ; Nehemiah 4:6 ). And note also the grand houses of her princes and nobles ( Amos 6:11 ), which show themselves even above the ramparts. That ye may tell it to the generation following. That ye may let them know "how splendid Jerusalem appeared on the morrow of its great danger" (Cheyne).
