(Psalm 47:1-9) Clap your hands, all you peoples;
Shout to God with a voice of joy.2 For the Lord Most High is to be feared,
A great King over all the earth.
3 He subdues peoples under us
And nations under our feet.
4 He chooses our inheritance for us,
The pride of Jacob whom He loves. Selah
5 God has ascended with a shout,
The Lord, with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God, sing praises;
Sing praises to our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of all the earth;
Sing praises with a psalm of wisdom.
8 God reigns over the nations,
God sits on His holy throne.
9 The princes of the people have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham,
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
He is highly exalted.
TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:
There are prophecies in this psalm, but for the time being, what stands out for me is that we can have an inner joy just knowing that God is Sovereign. He is exalted... above everything. And so, to be a believer, and as a believer, our hearts will have a reverent fear which includes a personal desire to exalt the Lord above all else. Jesus Christ the Lord God should be first in our lives! And because He is holy and generous, we should be compelled to gather together, to shout out and sing praises to Him!!!
