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…
* The great King over all the earth!
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.
The sheet music is …and below is a video of it. This is a subdued rendition performed by a High School choir in Northfield, Massachusetts. The lyrics have been updated as well in the music.
