Have you ever thought about why we clap our hands? Why is smacking one open hand against the other such an instinctual thing in human beings? There is actually a very spiritual reason for this universal behavior. As we dive into Psalm 47, we will answer this question and look into the kind of people who will join themselves to “the God of Abraham” in the end times. Join us for a fascinating study of this short but powerful psalm.
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.
1-4 Clap your hands, all peoples! Shout to God with loud songs of joy! 2 For Adonai, the Most High, is to be feared, a great King over all the earth. 3 He subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. 4 He chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom He loves. Selah
5-9 God has gone up with a shout, Adonai with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! 7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a maskil [ie. keen understanding]. 8 God reigns over the nations; God sits on His holy throne. 9 The princes (the generous/the willing) of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham. For the shields/protectors of the earth belong to God. He is highly exalted!
