SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: In Psalm 47, the Psalmist exhorts us to praise God for his triumphal reign over the earth. The Psalm is similar to Psalms 46 and 48. It also speaks of God as King and (indirectly) of his covenant with Israel, making it one of the Psalms called Kingship and Covenant Psalms (listed below).
     The Psalmist invites everyone to clap their hands and shout to God with the voice of triumph (or proclamation). The LORD deserves such praise because he is a terrifying King who rules over all of the earth. He will subdue people and nations under the feet of those who serve him. And, by contrast, he will choose those who serve him to have an inheritance with Jacob, the founder of Israel (1-4).
     God ascended with a shout (an acclimation of joy or a battle cry) and with the sound of a trumpet. Therefore, we should sing praises to God, because he is king over all of the earth; and we should praise him with understanding. He reigns over the heathen and sits on the throne of his holiness. The princes and the people of the God of Abraham gather together to him (for safety) because the defenses of the earth belong to God. He is greatly exalted (5-9).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. [Transposed To Psalm 46] *



O clap your hands, all ye people;
shout unto God with the voice of triumph.
2 For the LORD most high is terrible;
he is a great King over all the earth.
3 He shall subdue the people under us,
and the nations under our feet.
4 He shall choose our inheritance for us,
the excellency of Jacob whom he loved.
Selah.


5 God is gone up with a shout,
the
LORD with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God,
sing praises:
sing praises unto our King,
sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth:
sing ye praises with understanding.
8 God reigneth over the heathen:
God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.
9 The princes of the people are gathered together,
even the people of the God of Abraham:
for the shields of the earth belong unto God:
he is greatly exalted.


1 A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah. [Transposed From Psalm 48:1] *


* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
