Introduction
The Gentiles are invited to celebrate the praises of God as the Sovereign of the world, Psalm 47:1 , Psalm 47:2 . The Jews exalt in his kindness to them, Psalm 47:3 , Psalm 47:4 . All then join to celebrate his Majesty, as reigniny over the heathen, and gathering the dispersed Jews and Gentiles together into one Church, Psalm 47:5-9 .
The title, "A Psalm for the sons of Korah," has nothing remarkable in it. The Psalm was probably written about the same time with the preceding, and relates to the happy state of the Jews when returned to their own land. They renewed their praises and promises of obedienee, and celebrate him for the deliverance they had received. See the introduction to Psalm 46:1-11 ; (note). In a spiritual sense, it appears to relate to the calling of the Gentiles to be made partakers of the blessings of the Gospel with the converted Jews.
