“O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the Lord most high is terrible.” [Psalm 47:1, 2.] Notwithstanding the terror with which He can strike the hearts of transgressors, He looks upon them with compassion and longs to see them turn to Him and be saved from their transgressions. “He is a great King over all the earth. He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose our inheritance for us. ... Sing praises to God, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.” [Verses 2-4, 6, 7.]

“God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto the King, sing praise. For God is the King of all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.” [Psalm 47:5-7.] “The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. Thou hast ascendeth on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them.” [Psalm 68:17, 18.]

Again the challenge is heard, “Who is this King of glory?” for the angels never weary of hearing His name exalted. In strains of heavenly music the escorting angels make reply, “The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.” [Verse 10.] Emmanuel, God with us “is gone up with a shout; the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.” [Psalm 47:5.]
