"God has ascended amid shouts of joy,
the Lord amid the sounding of trumpets.
Sing praises to God, sing praises;
sing praises to our King, sing praises.
For God is the King of all the earth;

God is seated on his holy throne.
The nobles of the nations assemble
as the people of the God of Abraham,
for the kings of the earth belong to God;
he is greatly exalted."
God is magnificent in all of his perfections. Within the book of Psalms we see celebration of what he is like, that is, his character and nature. We also see the many acknowledgments of the wonderful things he has done.
In this psalm by the sons of Korah, the wonderful works of God are in view and we are invited to participate in joy together with all the nations in the exaltation of our God, as the matchless King over all the earth ascends to the throne!
Lofty in its view, sweeping in the grandeur it presents, this psalm is breathtaking in the event described as the nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham!
Here is a celebration of sheer joy and one that we will all participate in on that day! What a day that will be! What a King our God is that brings such joy to our hearts!
