Psalms 47:6

_SING PRAISES TO GOD, SING PRAISES: SING PRAISES UNTO OUR KING, SING PRAISES._ No JFB commentary on this verse....

5-9 Praise is a duty in which we ought to be frequent and abundant. But here is a needful rule; Sing ye praises with understanding. As those that understand why and for what reasons they praise God, and what is the meaning of the service. It is not an acceptable service, if it is not a reasonable service. We are never to forget the end of Messiah's exaltation, so continually do the prophets dwell upon the conversion of the nations to the gospel of Christ. Why do we vainly fancy that we belong to him, unless the Spirit reign in our hearts by faith? Lord, is it not thy glory and delight to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins, now that thou art exalted as a Prince and a Saviour? Set up thy kingdom in our hearts. Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. And so sweetly constrain all the powers and faculties of the souls of thy redeemed, into holy love, fear,...

Verse Psalms 47:6. _SING PRAISES_] זמרו _zammeru_: this word is _four_ times repeated in this short verse, and shows at once the _earnestness_ and _happiness_ of the people. They are the words of _exultation_ and _triumph_. Feel your obligation to God; express it in thanksgiving: be thankful, be eternally thankful, to God your King....

SING PRAISES TO GOD, SING PRAISES - This commences the “second” part of the psalm. The “repetition” shows that the heart was full, or was overflowing with joy. It is a call on all to celebrate the praises of God, especially as he had enabled his people to triumph over their enemies. SING PRAISES UNTO OUR KING - Unto God, who has shown himself to be the King of his people - one who rules in their behalf, and who has interposed for their deliverance in danger....

EXPOSITION THIS is a song of praise to God, as the King of the whole earth. It has been called "one of the _accession _psalms," because it depicts God as assuming his kingdom, and taking his seat upon his throne (Psalms 47:5). There is nothing in the psalm that very definitely marks the time of the composition; but it may well be, as Dr. Kay suggests, a psalm in which "Israel collectively acknowledges what David had been allowed to accomplish." The title assigns it to "the sons of Korah," who were among David's chief musicians. PSALMS 47:1 O CLAP YOUR HANDS, ALL YE PEOPLE; rather, _all ye peoples. _The nations of the earth generally—not Israel only—are addressed. The events which have taken place—the great extension of

SING PRAISES TO GOD,.... That is gone up with a shout, Christ Jesus, our ascended Lord and King, as the apostles did at the time of his ascension, Luke 24:52; SING PRAISES; SING PRAISES UNTO OUR KING, SING PRAISES: who was then made Lord and Christ, declared King of saints, and crowned with glory and honour; the repetition of the phrase sing praises denotes frequency, constancy, fervency, and great devotion in the performance of this service; and that the ascension of Christ, the occasion of it, is of the greatest moment and importance, and requires it to be performed in such a manner....

Psalms 47:1. _O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the LORD most high is terrible; he is a great king over all the earth. He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah. God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding. God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. 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._ The delivered people give God all the glory. He reigneth, and he it is who subdues the people. Let him be exalted in the c

Psalms 47 He is King Over All the Earth _ 1. In the midst of His people (Psalms 47:1)_ 2. The praise of His delivered people (Psalms 47:6) And now we see prophetically how the redeemed people clap their hands and shout unto God with the voice of triumph, for Messiah is King and then they sing praises unto the King, for He is King over all the earth and highly exalted. Every knee must bow and every tongue confess....

XLVII. JOY OF ALL MANKIND IN YAHWEH. All nations are invited to rejoice in Yahweh's exaltation. It seems strange that they should be expected to rejoice in their own defeat; but this is explained by the belief (Psalms 47:9) that the heathen nobles are to be gathered together with the people of the God of Abraham. In other words, they are to share in the promise made to Abraham (Genesis 12:3), In thee shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. The Ps. is sung in the synagogues on the Feast of Trumpets (p. 104, the Jewish New Year's Day. This ritual use may have been suggested by Psalms 47:5, or on the other hand, the Ps. may have been composed for liturgical use....
