Psalm 48: The city of the great King

Read Psalm 48:1-14 before you meet.

In a few lines

Number its towers (Psalm 48:12) and tell the next generation (Psalm 48:13) are one Hebrew verb: count it, then recount it. The kings "saw" and hurried away (Psalm 48:5), and the psalm's "we" have "seen" with the same verb (Psalm 48:8). And "the city of the great King" (Psalm 48:2) comes again, word for word in the WEB, on Jesus' lips (Matthew 5:35).

The verse to carry

“For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.”

Psalm 48:14

To talk about

  1. 1. "As we have heard, so we have seen" (48:8). Is there something about God you first heard from others and later saw for yourself?

  2. 2. "We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple" (48:9). Where, or when, do you find it easiest to stop and think about God's kindness?

  3. 3. "That you may tell it to the next generation" (48:13). Who told you about God, and who in the generation after you might hear it from you?
