Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 3. God is known in her palaces for a refuge. ] All those who worship there in spirit and truth, find God for their refuge. But the words may be understood: God is known for the defense of her palaces; and with this view of the subject agree the three following verses.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Jerusalem is the city of our God: none on earth render him due honou except the citizens of the spiritual Jerusalem. Happy the kingdom, the city, the family, the heart, in which God is great, in which he is all There God is known. The clearer discoveries are made to us of the Lor and his greatness, the more it is expected that we should abound in his praises. The earth is, by sin, covered with deformity, therefore justl might that spot of ground, which was beautified with holiness, be called the joy of the whole earth; that which the whole earth ha reason to rejoice in, that God would thus in very deed dwell with ma upon the earth. The kings of the earth were afraid of it. Nothing in nature can more fitly represent the overthrow of heathenism by the Spirit of the gospel, than the wreck of a fleet in a storm. Both are by the mighty power of the Lord.
