Psalms in Poetic Form: Psalm 48
Click here to read PSALM 48 in poetic form.
Background
Some Bible teachers believe that Psalms 46, 47, and 48 where written by King Hezekiah regarding the siege of Jerusalem by Sennacherib (II Kings 18:13—19:37; II Chronicles 32:1-23; Isaiah 36:1—37:38). Some references relate to specific aspects of Jerusalem and its environs, as well as to conditions in a siege.
Like Psalm 46 and 47, this Psalm shows God’s majesty and power being greater than that of the Assyrians and Sennacherib their king. Psalm 48 shows God as “the great King” overall (verse 2).
