Psalm 48

Setting: The Angel of the Lord just killed 185,000 men in the Assyrian army, causing a great victory for the Hezekiah.

The Psalm opens with great praise to God, mentioning Mt. Zion.
Where is Mt. Zion? Micah 4:2 & Zechariah 9:9 - Mt. Zion is the same as Jerusalem

vs 3. God is our Refuge.
vs. 4-6 The people that come up against Jerusalem are filled with fear.
vs 7 God is given credit for sinking a ship with the wind that God creates.
Isaiah 66:7, Jeremiah 31:35 - Give God praise for His deliverance.
Give God praise for the sun, moon, and stars. God says the sun and moon would have to stop shining and all the stars would have to be numbered before Israel would stop being a nation.

Israel is God’s possession and so are we.

vs. 8-9 God loves us
vs. 10-13 God promises to keep Israel as a nation
vs. 14 God is our guide, even to death.
Hebrews 2:15 Jesus’ death causes Satan’s death.
