Day 2568 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 47:1-9 – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Day 2568 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2568 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 47:1-9 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2568 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2568 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today’s Wisdom Nugget, we’ll explore Psalm 47, a psalm of celebration, praise, and the declaration of God’s sovereignty. Psalm 47 is a triumphant call to worship, reminding us that God reigns over all the earth. It is a psalm of victory, written in a time when God’s people saw His power and responded with shouts of joy and praise. While it was originally a song celebrating God’s kingship over Israel, it ultimately points to His reign over all nations and peoples. Let’s begin by reading the entire passage from the New Living Translation:
1 Come, everyone! Clap your hands! Shout to God with joyful praise! 2 For the Lord Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth. 3 He subdues the nations before us, putting our enemies beneath our feet. 4 He chose the Promised Land as our inheritance, the proud possession of Jacob’s descendants, whom He loves. 5 God has ascended with a mighty shout. The Lord has ascended with trumpets blaring. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises! 7 For God is the King over all the earth. Praise Him with a psalm. 8 God reigns above the nations, sitting on His holy throne. 9 The rulers of the world have gathered together with the people of the God of Abraham. For all the kings of the earth belong to God. He is highly honored everywhere. The psalm opens with a universal invitation: “Come, everyone! Clap your hands! Shout to God with joyful praise!” This is not a quiet, reserved call to worship. It’s an enthusiastic, joyful declaration, inviting all people to express their gratitude through clapping and shouting. These are signs of victory and celebration—the kind of response you would expect after witnessing a great triumph. The reason for this excitement is given in verse 2: “For the Lord Most High is awesome. He is the great King of all the earth.” This verse establishes why we should worship—because God is supreme. He is not just the King of Israel; He is the King of all the earth. The word awesome here conveys a sense of reverence, respect, and wonder at God’s power and authority. Illustration: Think of a championship sports game. When a team wins, fans erupt in cheers, clapping and shouting in excitement. That kind of uncontained joy is the same response Psalm 47 calls for—but it is directed toward God, the ultimate King, who has already won the...
