神 在 其 宫 中 ， 自 显 为 避 难 所 。
Contextual Overview
A psalm of the sons of Korah.
The Lord is great; he should be praised in the city of our God, on his holy mountain. 2 It is high and beautiful and brings joy to the whole world. Mount Zion is like the high mountains of the north; it is the city of the Great King. 3 God is within its palaces; he is known as its defender. 4 Kings joined together and came to attack the city. 5 But when they saw it, they were amazed. They ran away in fear. 6 Fear took hold of them; they hurt like a woman having a baby. 7 You destroyed the large trading ships with an east wind.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
God is known in her palaces for a refuge. As there were palaces in Jerusalem; see Psalms 48:13; so there are in the church of Christ; every place in it is a palace fit for a king; and everyone that has truly a name and a place there are kings and priests unto God: and here God is a "refuge" both for saints and sinners to fly unto;
Psalms 48:13- :; and is "known" to be so; the ministers of the Gospel being here appointed to direct and encourage souls to flee to Christ for refuge, who is the hope set before them in the everlasting Gospel, preached by them to lay hold upon; and all that do flee to him know, by experience, that he is a refuge for them; and as all the people of God do in every time of distress, and when all refuge fails them elsewhere.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
God is known in her palaces - The word rendered “palaces” here means properly a fortress, castle, or palace, so called from its height, from a verb, ארם 'âram, meaning to elevate, to lift up. It may be applied to any fortified place, and would be particularly applicable to a royal residence, as a castle or stronghold. The word “known” here means that it was well understood, or that the point had been fully tested and determined that God had chosen those abodes as his special residence - as the place where he might be found.
For a refuge - See the notes at Psalms 46:1. That is, there was safety or security in the God who had chosen Jerusalem as his special abode.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 48:3. 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 defence of her palaces; and with this view of the subject agree the three following verses.
