Psalms 47:8

8. God reigneth over… heathen גוים , ( goyim,) Gentiles, heathen nations, and in Psalms 47:2; Psalms 47:8, “king over all the earth” Psalms 47:4, “ peoples.” This Jehovistic reign was fully vindicated of old by calling or defending his Church in the midst of hostile nations. Thus he displayed his sovereign power over Egypt, the nations of Canaan, Syria, Assyria, Babylon, and Arabia. But the language takes a prophetic form, and is fully realized only in the call and gathering of the nations under Messiah’s reign into one spiritual commonwealth, so often and strongly brought out by the great apostle to the Gentiles. See Ephesians 1:10; Ephesians 2:11-19; Ephesians 3:10.

God sitteth upon the throne To which he had ascended, (Psalms 47:5,) and where he receives the homage and submission of the nations.
