Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 48:12

12. Walk about Zion, and go round about her : tell the towers thereof .

He speaketh, Either, 1. To the Enemies, as Triumphing over them. Or rather, 2. To the People of that City and Kingdom, who had been Eye Witnesses of this glorious work of God▪ as appears from the following Verses.

He bids them [illegible: 1+ letters]ark well her [illegible: 1+ letters]owers, B[illegible: 1+ letters]warks and Palaces, here and v. 13. not with vain Ostentation, or Carnal Confidence, for he had said that God onely was their Refuge, v. 3. but with thankfulness to God, when they should find upon Enquiry, that not one of them was demolished, or [illegible: 1+ letters]ny way defaced by so potent an Enemy.
