02.047. Psalm 47

Psalms 47:1-9 To the chief Musician,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah. This psalm was probably composed on the same occasion as the 24th. Here is, (1.) A revenue of praise demanded for God, from all people, Jews and Gentiles, Psalms 47:1, Psalms 47:6. (2.) A memorial of the grounds of praise, viz. the majesty of God’s nature, Psalms 47:2; the great things he had done, or would do for his people, in subduing their foes, and providing portions for themselves; and in ascending to heaven, to receive gifts, and prepare places for men, Psalms 47:3-5; as also the high sovereignty and universal extent of his government, Psalms 47:2, Psalms 47:7-9.

While my lips utter this song, let all my inward powers labour in viewing, in loving, in admiring, in extolling my great, my glorious, my ascended, my all-governing, all-doing, and all -giving Lord, Jesus Christ.
