Psalm 48 Meaning
The meaning of Psalm 48 is very interesting, its authors (the children of Core) declare their gratitude to God, in it we can see two reasons: his love and his care. The Psalms also tells us that the place or home of God is the Church and that it is there where he lives. It is from the Church where his whole being is born and expands to others. The Psalm wants us to see that we put peace and well-being in our lives and acts, always acting with faith in God.
