“Walk around Zion... consider well her ramparts” (v12,13). The psalmist declares praise to the ends of the earth (v10) because the Lord is “known as a fortress” (v3). Like the mountain citadel of Jerusalem on Mount Zion, God is a secure place for His people, while causing “panic” and “trembling” among the enemy (v5-6). At the center of Mount Zion is the temple where the psalmist meditates on God’s “steadfast love” (v9). 

As God’s people, our confidence and security are found in the Lord, our strong tower. Peace comes when we “consider” or deliberately fix our minds on the One who is “great and greatly to be praised” (v1). Our hope and the hope of the next generation is in serving the “great king” (v2).
