Psalms 47 Commentary

This verse is a worldwide summons for believers and nonbelievers alike to respond to God’s reign with joyful hearts and boisterous praise.

God reigns above everything else, and His kingship extends over every corner of creation.

God alone holds sovereign power over every enemy and grants His faithful people triumph in His name.

God personally arranges our future and blesses us with love because He is the sovereign King over all.

God is lifted up as the victorious King, and every part of creation is urged to celebrate His enthronement.

God’s people are called to sing praises because He is eternally worthy.

God’s kingship reaches across the entire globe, and we are called to respond with reverent, joy-filled worship.

God’s throne is supreme, reminding us that He who governs all people is altogether worthy of our worship and gratitude.

God is the supreme Ruler who gathers all peoples under His eternal kingship.
