Psalm 47:6 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 47:6

Sing praises to God
That is gone up with a shout, Christ Jesus, our ascended Lord and King, as the apostles did at the time of his ascension, ( Luke 24:52 Luke 24:53 ) ;

sing praises; sing praises unto our King, sing praises:
who was then made Lord and Christ, declared King of saints, and crowned with glory and honour; the repetition of the phrase sing praises denotes frequency, constancy, fervency, and great devotion in the performance of this service; and that the ascension of Christ, the occasion of it, is of the greatest moment and importance, and requires it to be performed in such a manner.
