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). [ Sermons: Richard Phillips.

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.

[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.]
