Psalm 48:14
“For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 48Meaning
The psalm closes by confessing that this God is our God forever and that he guides his people; the final Hebrew phrase is textually difficult and translated in more than one way, so confidence in God’s enduring guidance should not be made to depend on a single disputed rendering.
