Exalt God our King (verses 8-9)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ps%2047:8-9&version=NIV
In the midst of all the turmoil on this earth, with petty
rulers exalting themselves, the nations still belong to God. He does not permit
His purposes to be deterred by national politics. Ultimately the rulers of the
nations will acknowledge God’s sovereignty. While God’s throne of holiness will
be feared by all people, His throne of grace is loved by His redeemed. In the
end His throne of glory will be praised by the whole creation.
Thank You, God,
that You reign over the nations. You are seated on Your holy throne. Thank You
that the leaders of the earth belong to You, God; You are greatly exalted. We
sing this psalm of praise to You, our God, the King of all the earth.
O worship the
King, all glorious above!
O gratefully
sing his power and his love!
Our shield and
defender, the Ancient of days,
Pavilioned in
splendour, and girded with praise.
Robert Grant (1785-1838)
