As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it forever. Selah.
All Commentaries on Psalms 48:8 Go To Psalms 48
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Seen. All the promises have been fulfilled. How could any one have thought that we should have been permitted to dedicate this temple under the patronage of the king of Persia? (1 Esdras vi. 8.) Who would not have feared, lest the Christian religion should perish, under such violent persecutions? Converts admire its beauty and strength. (Calmet)
The completion of the prophecies is a wonderful confirmation and comfort of Christians, (Worthington) whose faith is founded indeed for ever. (Haydock)
The gates of hell shall not prevail. (Menochius)
