Psalm 47
1. The nations are exhorted cheerfully to entertain the kingdom of Christ.














(1) Of triumph.--Or, of exultation, as LXX. and Vulg. For the hand-clapping at a time of national rejoicing, such as the coronation of a king, see 2Kings 11:12 (comp. Psalm 98:8); and for the "shout," comp. Numbers 23:21, "the shout of a king"; and 1Samuel 10:24. With the Hebrews, as with our own English forefathers, this sign of popular assent,

"In full acclaim,

A people's voice,

The proof and echo of all human fame," . . .

Verse 1. - O clap your hands, all ye people; rather, all ye peoples. The nations of the earth generally - not Israel only - are addressed. The events which have taken place - the great extension of God's kingdom, by David's conquests, are for the advantage of all, and all ought to be thankful for them. Shout unto God with the voice of triumph; or, with a voice of joy. Professor Cheyne renders, "in ringing tones."
