Psalm 47

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
1 Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.

2 For the Lord Most High is awesome,
the great King over all the earth.
3 He subdued nations under us,
peoples under our feet.
4 He chose our inheritance for us,
the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.

5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.
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 to him a psalm of praise.

8 God reigns over the nations;
God is seated on his holy throne.
9 The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted.

 

One thought:

The ascension of God should result in the praises of His people

 

Three questions:

 

We often say things like ‘God is awesome’, but why is He awesome according to the Psalm?

 

Do you feel like praising God?

 

Spend some time together praising God for who He is and what He has done in Christ

 

Prayer:

Praise God that He is King over heaven and earth. Praise God that Christ has ascended and reigns, seated on the throne of heaven. Praise God that He is good to His people, He rescues them and gives them an inheritance beyond comprehension.
