Psalms47

Psalm 47 is a universal call to worship, urging all peoples to celebrate God's supreme kingship with shouts and praises. It declares the LORD Most High as a terrible and great King over all the earth, who subdues nations and chooses Israel's inheritance. The psalm culminates in the affirmation that God reigns over the heathen from His holy throne, greatly exalted.
