If ever there were a Psalm calling us to sing praise to God, this one would be my first choice to recommend ...
Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.
So reads the 6th verse of Psalm 47. And a fifth call to sing is penned in verse seven: "Sing to Him a psalm of praise"
The key point of the psalm is centered primarily on praising God for who he is as King - and what he does as King over all the earth...
Reflect on these phrases from the psalm...
* How awesome is the LORD Most High
* The great King over all the earth!
* The Lord amid the sounding of trumpets!
* God is seated on his holy throne
* God reigns over the nations
* For the kings of the earth belong to God
* For God is the King of all the earth
* He is greatly Exalted
I envision this four -part choral arrangement to be expanded into an elaborate, high energy rock beat worship experience with clapping and sound effects of a standing ovation to open it up in light of the first verse.
