Psalms 48:13

Consider its defenses! ¹  Walk through ²  its fortresses, so you can tell the next generation about it! ³ 

De 11:19; Ps 71:18; Ps 78:4; Isa 58:12; Joe 1:3; Am 9:11; Ac 15:14-16

¹ tn Heb “set your heart to its rampart.”

² tn The precise meaning of the Hebrew word translated “walk through,” which occurs only here in the OT, is uncertain. Cf. NEB “pass…in review”; NIV “view.”

³ sn The city’s towers, defenses, and fortresses are outward reminders and tangible symbols of the divine protection the city enjoys.
