Read in KJV Bible Reader

Psalms 48:1. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised -

Surely a great God should have great praise: "greatly to be praised" -

Psalms 48:1. In the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

If there is any place where he ought to be praised, surely it is there. Even if all the rest of the world is silent, let God be praised "in the mountain of his holiness." Holy people must praise the holy God. It is natural that they should do so. It needs holy people to see God, and when they do see him, their eyes will glisten with delight, and their voices will ring with his praise.
