“God the King of the Earth”

Summary Of Psalm 47:To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. One of the six psalms of the divine kingdom, the psalm celebrates the Lord’s kingship over all the earth (verse 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.). It begins with a universal call to praise Israel’s God (verse 1: Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.).
“ Psalm 47 follows quite naturally after Psalm 46. Psalm 46 is focused on the security of God’s people, noting how God had delivered them from one of their great enemies. It challenged the nations to observe that deliverance and stand in awe before God.
So Sennacherib, king of Assyria, went away. He went and returned to Nineveh, where he lived. If Psalms 46-48 are from this date, then perhaps the author was the *prophet Isaiah. Many of the words in these psalms are also words that Isaiah used in his book, but not many other Bible writers used. But it does not matter who wrote these psalms.

Psalm Chapter 47:1-9:
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.
Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. For the LORD Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth. He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet. He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise. God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne. 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.
