Ps 47:1
47:1 <> O
     {a} clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the
     voice of triumph.

     (a) Here is figured Christ to whom all his should give
         willing obedience, and who would show himself terrible
         to the wicked.

Ps 47:3
47:3 He shall {b} subdue the people under us, and the nations
     under our feet.

     (b) He has made the Jews who were the keepers of the law
         and prophets, schoolmasters to the Gentiles, that they
         would with gladness obey them.

Ps 47:4
47:4 He shall choose {c} our inheritance for us, the excellency
     of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.

         most glorious inheritance.

Ps 47:5
47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the {d} sound of
     a trumpet.

         feasts: but he further signifies the triumph of Christ
         and his glorious ascension into the heavens.

Ps 47:7
47:7 For God [is] the King of all the earth: sing ye praises
     with {e} understanding.

         lest the Name of God be profaned with vain crying.

Ps 47:9
47:9 The princes of the people are gathered together, [even] the
     people of the God of Abraham: for the shields of the earth
     [belong] unto God: he {f} is greatly exalted.

     (f) He praises God's highness, for that he joins the great
         princes of the world (whom he calls shields) to the
         fellowship of his Church.
