The Lord Will

Psalm 48:13

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

KJV

Read in Psalm 48

Meaning

They are to consider the ramparts and citadels so they can tell the next generation; the point of preserving memory is transmission of God-centered testimony, not glorification of military architecture.

Inspect Zion, tell the next generation, trust God’s guidance

Psalm 48 praises God in Zion, narrates the collapse of hostile royal confidence, meditates on steadfast love and righteousness, and turns the city’s remembered security into testimony for the next generation.

Read carefully

They are to consider the ramparts and citadels so they can tell the next generation; the point of preserving memory is transmission of God-centered testimony, not glorification of military architecture.

Reflection
