Psalm 47:5-7

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 47:6

Sing praises to God, sing praises - This commences the “second” part of the psalm. The “repetition” shows that the heart was full, or was overflowing with joy.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 47:1-9

Psalm 46-48 When God saved JerusalemConfident in tone and bold in expression, these three psalms express praise to God for delivering Jerusalem from an enemy invasion.
