Psalm 48
1. The ornaments and privileges of the church














(5) They saw.--A verse like Psalm 46:6, vivid from the omission of the conjunctions, wrongly supplied by the Authorised Version. It has reminded commentators of Caesar's Veni, vidi, vici.

They looked, even so were terrified, bewildered, panic-struck.

Hasted away.--Or, sprung up in alarm.

Verse 5. - They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away. The sight of the city, with its walls and towers (vers. 12, 13), was enough for them - they recognized that the place was too strong to be attacked with any prospect of success; "marvelled," or "were amazed" (Cheyne), at its strength, and, being troubled in mind, hasted away. The unconnected verbs remind the commentators of Caesar's famous despatch, "Vent, vidi, vici."
