Psalm 47
Concise Complete
The people exhorted to praise God.
Verses 1-4 The God
with whom we have to do, is a God of awful majesty. The universal and absolute
sovereignty of a holy God would be too terrible for us even to think of, were it
not exercised by his Son from a mercy-seat; but now it is only terrible to the
workers of iniquity. While his people express confidence and joy, and animate
each other in serving him, let sinners submit to his authority, and accept his
salvation. Jesus Christ shall subdue the Gentiles; he shall bring them as sheep
into the fold, not for slaughter, but for preservation. He shall subdue their
affections, and make them a willing people in the day of his power. Also it
speaks of his giving them rest and settlement. Apply this spiritually; the Lord
himself has undertaken to be the inheritance of his people. It shows the faith
and submission of the saints. This is the language of every gracious soul, The
Lord shall choose my inheritance for me; he knows what is good for me better
than I do.
Verses 5-9 Praise
is a duty in which we ought to be frequent and abundant. But here is a needful
rule; Sing ye praises with understanding. As those that understand why and for
what reasons they praise God, and what is the meaning of the service. It is not
an acceptable service, if it is not a reasonable service. We are never to forget
the end of Messiah's exaltation, so continually do the prophets dwell upon the
conversion of the nations to the gospel of Christ. Why do we vainly fancy that
we belong to him, unless the Spirit reign in our hearts by faith? Lord, is it
not thy glory and delight to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins,
now that thou art exalted as a Prince and a Saviour? Set up thy kingdom in our
hearts. Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. And so
sweetly constrain all the powers and faculties of the souls of thy redeemed,
into holy love, fear, and delight in thee, that praise with the understanding
may rise from every heart, both here and for ever, to Thee, our God.
