Psalms 47 DBY
Summary: An enthronement hymn meant for jubilant, clapping worship, Psalm 47 announces that "God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet" (v. 5), likely reflecting a liturgical procession of the ark. It proclaims the LORD not merely Israel's God but "a great King over all the earth," who "reigns over the nations" and sits "on his holy throne" (v. 2, 7-8). It closes with a striking image of unity, the princes of the peoples gathering "as the people of the God of Abraham" (v. 9).
1To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye peoples, clap your hands; shout untoGod with the voice of triumph!
2For Jehovah, the Most High, is terrible, a great king over all the earth.
3He subdueth the peoples under us, and the nations under our feet.
4He hath chosen our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
5God is gone up amid shouting, Jehovah amid the sound of the trumpet.
6Sing psalms ofGod, sing psalms; sing psalms unto our King, sing psalms!
7ForGod is the King of all the earth; sing psalms with understanding.
8God reigneth over the nations;God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
9The willing-hearted of the peoples have gathered together, [with] the people of theGod of Abraham. For untoGod [belong] the shields of the earth: he is greatly exalted.
