Psalms 48:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 48:11

Let Mount Zion rejoice
The church in general; see ( Psalms 48:1 Psalms 48:2 ) ( Hebrews 12:22 ) ( Revelation 14:1 ) ;

let the daughters of Judah be glad;
particular churches; and so the Targum renders it, "the congregations of the house of Judah"; or particular believers; such as are called the daughters of Jerusalem, and the daughters of Zion, ( Song of Solomon 3:10 Song of Solomon 3:11 ) ; these are exhorted to joy and gladness, at the loving kindness of God, at the spread of his name and glory to the ends of the earth, and at his righteousness his right hand is full of; and as it follows,

because of thy judgments;
executed on the antichristian kings, ( Psalms 48:4-7 ) ; and on all the antichristian states, and on the whore of Babylon, and those who have committed fornication with her; see ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) .

Psalms 48:11 In-Context

9 We have thought on thy steadfast love, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 As thy name, O God, so thy praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Thy right hand is filled with victory;
11 let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of thy judgments!
12 Walk about Zion, go round about her, number her towers,
13 consider well her ramparts, go through her citadels; that you may tell the next generation
