Salmos 47:2-9

2 Porque Jehová el Altísimo es terrible; Rey grande sobre toda la tierra.

3 El sujetará á los pueblos debajo de nosotros, Y á las gentes debajo de nuestros pies.

4 El nos elegirá nuestras heredades; La hermosura de Jacob, al cual amó. (Selah.)

5 Subió Dios con júbilo, Jehová con sonido de trompeta.

6 Cantad á Dios, cantad: Cantad á nuestro Rey, cantad.

7 Porque Dios es el Rey de toda la tierra: Cantad con inteligencia.

8 Reinó Dios sobre las gentes: Asentóse Dios sobre su santo trono.

9 Los príncipes de los pueblos se juntaron Al pueblo del Dios de Abraham: Porque de Dios son los escudos de la tierra; El es muy ensalzado.

Salmos 47:2-9 Meaning and Commentary

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah. Thus psalm is thought by some to be written on occasion of the ark being brought from the house of Obededom to the city of David, to the place he had prepared for it; which was attended with singing and dancing, with shouting, and the sound of a trumpet, 2 Samuel 6:12; but it rather seems to be penned on account of the ascension of Christ to heaven, prophetically spoken of in this psalm; and of the spread of the Gospel, and the conquests it made in the Gentile world upon Christ's ascension; as the whole psalm shows: and even Aben Ezra and Kimchi apply it to the times of the Messiah; and so do some of their most ancient writers, who particularly interpret Psalm 47:5 of him, as may be seen in the note upon it.
