Psalm 47

God Is King over All the Earth

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of the Sons of Korah.

47:1 Clap your hands, all peoples!
Shout to God with loud songs of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, is to be feared,
a great king over all the earth.
He subdued peoples under us,
and nations under our feet.
He chose our heritage for us,
the pride of Jacob whom he loves. Selah

God has gone up with a shout,
the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
Sing praises to God, sing praises!
Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
For God is the King of all the earth;
sing praises with a psalm!

God reigns over the nations;
God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather
as the people of the God of Abraham.
For the shields of the earth belong to God;
he is highly exalted! (ESV)

    1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.

    “shout to God with cries of joy” This part of the verse stood out to me a lot. Well I remember, a beach night we had early this summer on a beautiful night…I’m pretty sure it was the beach night before Revival 09′ and Pastor Big Ben Blakey was talking about worship, how we should praise God. That we shouldn’t be quiet and just have our arms folded, but cry out to God even if it looks funny because you are loud. Looking back at Revival, we were shouting to God with cries of joy. I need to shout cries of joy to the Lord every weekend because how awesome He is and how much praise He deserves.

    This is a benefit reading SOTD in the morning, because this gets me in the midset for worship. Join me, reading in the morning. Start the day off right by diving into the Word. I’ll see y’all at True North! :)))

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    Praise, that should be the center of worship. Praise with frllowship, thats how we should treat the Lord. God deserves our all. Lets praise his name and bring Glory to him at Teen ministers!!!

  3. Dave Hosford, praying for Pastor Bobby's family rest on vacation says:

    Ps 47:4 He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. Selah

    His plan is working… Every terrible thing that happens is allowed by God, for God, and He wants us to turn to Him because of it… And look who He sent to be our PRIDE? And our redemption PRICE? The Perfect One, Jesus the Christ. We should shout for joy even if it looks funny to others because of how great he is…

  4. Brooke Miller says:

    What a great passage!!!

    8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.

    God is right where he should be, on his throne and in control over everything! The Lord is so powerful and holy, that it is a great picture to comprehend. He should be receiving all the glory!!! I know that I need to think of this more and really get an even better understanding of just how powerful our God is!

  5. Beth Lauder says:

    1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.
    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    This psalm is packed with praise for God! He is described as awesome, the King over all the earth, the conquerer of enemy nations, the giver of our inheritance and one who loves His children. God has done so much for us, His people, that is worthy of praise. After I read this psalm I cried out to the Lord to help me have a continued attitude of praise toward Him. That I would not only praise Him in my daily prayer time but that all day long I would reflect upon His attributes and goodness and give Him the praise that He deserves.

  6. Spencer Camp says:

    Psalm 23:5 “God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets.”

    This Psalm gets me excited to worship God today! He is truly awesome in his holiness and great and immense in His power.

    Consider this (v.5): God ascends on a crowd of people worshipping him with trumpets and shouts of joy, and is glorified. I don’t think we always realize this (at least I usually don’t), but that God is present, watching us every time we worship him. Just that thought of God being present during worship convicts me of times when I don’t even sing, or maybe I’m singing but my mind is elsewhere. Today I want to do as Psalm 23:6 says and sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

  7. kelly causky says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    I am pretty sure this verse is telling us to sing praises to the Lord our God. We have to remember that God is jealous and when we spend most of our time praising each other or the things of this world, God gets jealous. God is the creator and the ruler over the ENTIRE universe -the universe that people do not even understand. God deserves our praise more than anything and anyone.

  8. Chelseaaaa says:

    1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.

    This whole chapter is really cool. It is pretty much talking about glorifying Him in the entire thing. I want my life to reflect my relationship with the Lord Most High. Lord, help me to do this. I can do nothing without your help. I love you God!!!!!

    MARANATHA (TODAY IF IT IS YOUR WILL)
    Better is one day in your courts than thousands.

  10. Nachooooooooooo says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    Sing praises. In one verse we are told to sing praises four times! My life should be like this verse in that everything I do should be praising God. Whether it is doing homework, playing baseball, hanging out with friends, or anything else, it needs to be bringing God glory.

  11. Josh Larson says:

    1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.
    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth! This psalm is talking about bringing praise to God and to shout to God cries of joy. I really need to work on praising God 24/7 and to bring praise to his name. MARANATHA!!!

  12. Tanner says:

    ELLO… I read

    I like verse 8,”God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.”

    I like this verse because it is yet another verse that tells us that GOD is king over all. GOD is seated on HIS holy throne. HE is king over all there is no reference to one of the thrones there is only one throne and it belongs to GOD and only HE rules there is no other GOD besides HIM everything that is a figment of our imagination does not save no made up god exists only the one true GOD who is reining forever.

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.
    7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.

    Well then, I’m pretty sure that singing praises to God and shouting out His name is a theme here! Unfortunately, this doesn’t always happen… Worship is powerful up on a retreat, but upon returning within 3 weeks, the enthusiasm for worship decreases… We need to kick up that zeal for worshiping the Lord with our whole hearts; not just at church, but everywhere we are!!!

  14. Steffen Eriksen says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.

    This psalm talks a lot about praising God. The beginning tells us to clap our hands and shout aloud with cries of joy, for how awesome is the LORD Most High- He is King over all the earth. He is our God and deserves all of our praise. Some people may look at Christians who are worshiping their Lord loudly and think them weird- like when we were singing out at Salt Creek on beach nights- but what does that matter. As Christians, we are not here to gain the approval of men, but to serve the LORD. I need to be constantly shouting out praises to my God. And when I am singing to Him it isn’t just saying the words and singing them, but also looking at them and really thinking about what they are talking about and how true it is! Music is such a great thing that can be used to praise God, and I need to use it to bring glory to God. Throughout each day, I need to Sing to the King!

  15. Jenae Naeeee (= says:

    This psalm is just screaming in my face how amazing God is! He is above all else and he rules the earth. I should praise him for that and sing to him everyday!

  16. Riley Hancock says:

    8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.

    9 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.

    What this verse is saying is God rules everything and Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. I praise you through bad or good and you give us what we need so do to spread the word to everyone we can.

  17. Eric Walker says:

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    How awesome is this verse! This entire psalm is talking about how worth God is and how he deserves all of the Glory. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. God truly is awesome and he deserves all the Glory. Glory to God in the Highest!!!

    MARANATHA!!!

  18. Nicholas Bonetto says:

    6 “Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our king, sing praises.”

    This is a command telling us to sing to God, God deserves my praise. I need to mean what I say when I sing praises in church and focus on God, nothing else. Praising God should go everywhere I am, I can’t only worship Him in church when everyone else is doing it. My heart should be overflowed with praises. Music is such a wonderful gift from God and we should, in return, make it praises to Him.

    !!!MARANATHA!!!

  19. Adam Duarte [2010] says:

    1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.

    I think I often overlook the way that the Bible talks about nations. In so many verses it says that the nations will bow down before God, that they shout to him with cries of joy… in society these days, worship of the Lord has been mostly confined to church, and a lot of people don’t acknowledge him outside of what they conceive to be “the proper venue”. But when He returns, it won’t just be a Sunday morning service singing praises to the Lord God; it will be all the nations of the world, acknowledging He who is the Most High God. Now that is awesome. Maranatha!

  20. Michelle [slave for Christ] 2010 says:

    mmmm, i agree with you brooke!I know that i dont fully comprehend the holiness of God, even when passages like this declare His righteousness and holiness!

    8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.
    God is the Ruler over everything. I need to keep this engraved in my mind each day. When i am tempted, I want this to pop in my head so that i can be reminded how God is holy and how i should be living to please Christ daily! God is in the highest place there is…He is set apart from sin, and i need to show in my life that i want to live in the footsteps of Christ by obeying Gods commands! I have to remember that i am to obey a God who has power over everything and Who has forgiven me and Who has displayed ultimate love through His son Jesus Christ. When i really think of how great God is(which is so minor compared to how great He really is!) then i know i need to obey Him- it is the least i could to in return for giving me air to breath and a body to move in.
    And you know what!What really gets me is this: God is the King over everything. He could, if he wanted to, just sit on His throne and bask in the glory of heaven! But no!He created us. He created us to worship Him and to obey Him. He created everything that we consider to be amazingly beautiful! God gives us breath and life each day…He is the high King of heaven and He gives me air to breath. That is an honor in itself. To sit and realize how great God is and to realize what He has blessed us with is truly amazing. That just makes me want to jump for joy and go out and tell everyone about eternity! Like Ben said today, dont hold back and be bold! How much do we have to hate someone to not tell them about an eternity with God- The High King and Ruler over all! IM SO EXCITED TO MEET MY CREATOR:)

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    This chapter and verse just show me how Great out God is and He needs to be praised. He is the King over all the earth that is so cool to serve a God like that.

  22. Ian H. says:

    6 “Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.
    7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.
    8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.”

    God created everything we know, including ourselves. He is in control of it all, He sustains it all, and nothing happens outside of His perfect plan. If we are His people, we have no legitimate reason to be afraid. Even though we sinned against and disobeyed Him, the perfect, holy, good God, He is merciful to us and is so loving that He gives us grace.

    2 “How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!”
    Praise the Lord!

  23. Austin Payne 2010 says:

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    Reminding yourself of how awesome God truly is, is essential. Just take a look around you and realize that God created all of this and is reigning Most High

  24. Jackson Dahl says:

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    This Psalm is all about how awesome God is.. and this verse is so awesome! This is like something we would just saw to each other, yet it’s in the bible! How awesome is the LORD! He is so mighty and beyond anything we can imagine.. I think it’s crazy to know that I, a lowly sinner, have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe.. I mean WOW! He is AWESOME!

  25. Jasmine Douglas says:

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    How awesome is our heavenly Father? I mean the love he has for us is indescribable! I am so humbled by the fact that he had hand picked me before even time began. It is by grace alone that I have been saved and the King of the earth loves me, for me. Sorry that it’s a little off topic for today’s passage, but I’ve been thinking about that today and it put a huge smile on my face. Don’t forget to spend time with Jesus today, everyone =)

  26. Murphy Danahy says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    Here is yet another specific direction and command in the bible to sing to the LORD. For many years I thought that singing was a pointless part of Church, but as I’ve grown in my faith, I’ve come to realize, through verses like this, how important music is to the LORD.

  27. ✿tara eddo✿ says:

    Psalm 47:2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    God is the ruler of ALL THINGS! Every time I am tempted I think of this, and when I fail to turn away from my temptation, I realize it all the more and start to tremble (seriously!) with fear. During that time, I pray my heart out and beg for forgiveness. He is so awesome and we do not deserve to dwell in His holy kingdom at ALL! It’s just indescribable how much more holy He is than the rest of us. Even the most holiest of men, Abraham, was sinful and deserved God’s wrath.

    God is so amazazing! We could praise Him with prayer and songs of praise and it still wouldn’t amount to how awesome He is!!! I want to make it my life to sing praises to Him and please Him from the inside out!!!

    Maranatha!!!

  28. Alison says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    Hmmm I think singing praises to God might be a good idea… hahaha. But seriously, God DESERVES glory and honor and PRAISE and the Bible said if we didn’t praise him the rocks would cry out. There is always something to be thankful for no matter what our circumstances are- and that’s the sacrifice of Jesus. Daily happiness shouldn’t be contingent on whether or not I had a “good” day. Every day can be good because my eternity is secure!

    MARANATHA!

  29. The Freshman of SJHHS(Agafaye V.) says:

    Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. This verse is what made me stand out, despite being tone-deaf, I can still worship one way or another. God deserves everything, including praise. If we don’t, who knows what would happen if he doesn’t get it. No matter what, whether the day be good or not, it is still good if the Lord is with us. No one is against us.

  30. Matt Crichton ((2010)) says:

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    This verse says it all. God is awsome and he is worthy of our praise. I cant wait to be caught up in the clouds and be surrounded by his awesomeness. Let us be living each day like it could be our last here on Earth. Lets leave a mark on our community. Our words and actions should be screaming His glory. Maranatha!!!!!!

  31. Matt Lawler says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.
    1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.
    7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.

    God loves when we worship Him, really there is no excuse why we should not praise the Lord at any opportunity we are given because He created us and we should show our gratitude for life with singing to Him.

    Obviously I’m back from vacation and had an awesome time with my family. =)

    Only about 30 posts and it’s allready 7:00p.m.????????

    KEEP UP THE POSTING PEOPLES!!!

    I read . . .

    Psalm 47 . . .

    “6. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.”

    “7. For God is the King of all the earth; sing to Him a psalm of praise.”

    These two verses I found very convicting on why I am to praise my Creator and Savior. I love how verse 6 continuously states, sing praises to God, SING TO HIM!!!!! I find it so amazing, that the same Creator who made the Milky Way and the world made . . . ME. How amazing is that? In the second verse, it says that I am to sing a psalm of praise to the King of all the earth. I will most defintly be singing to Him all day long to remind myself of His continuous Grace and Mercy. =)

    “SING, SING, SING,
    AND MAKE MUSIC TO THE HEAVENS,
    WE WILL SING, SING, SING,
    GREATFULL THAT YOU HEAR US,
    WE WILL SHOUT HIS NAME!”

    Oh my gosh, I START SCHOOL TOMMOROW . . . wow.

    P.S. Proud to say that I read all the Psalm’s when I was on vacation. Except for three days after it. BUT NOW IT FEELS GREAT TO GET BACK INTO GOD’S WORD. =)

    Friendly Reminders . . .

    DON’T FORGET TO PRAY FOR EACHOTHER! I’m praying for you guys also. =)

    God is so amazing and so awesome! And I should praise him every second of every moment everyday! He is so good and His love endures FOREVER!!!
    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.
    Everyday I am reminded of His wonders and I just rejoice at His wonders He has created. But sometimes I get caught up in life and the world that I forget who the focus should be on. Which of course should be on God. God deserves the praise, for He is AWESOME! :D

    ***SING TO THE KING!!!***

  34. billy morris says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    Obviously this is a famous verse and has been used in many songs. But really, it is an extremely important verse. God needs to be the king of our lives, and we must treat him as such. When we sing praises to God, it will be singing to the king as well. I need to always remember that God is the King of my life.

  35. 1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.
    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    YAYYY! God is awesome and He is the true king over all the earth. I’m going to keep these verses in mind when I worship. My life is worship to God and I’m not joyful all the time. I need to work on that and be thankful for everything. I remember one time we discussed this in smallgroups when the apostle Paul says to be content Philippians 4: 11 that’s so inspiring especially when he was writing that in prison and here I am being down about some little thing like a bad schedule or locker. I want to be content with just my relationship with Jesus and not on other things. I want to shout and praise God with joy!

  36. Laura Johnson says:

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!
    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    God is ruler of everything! There is no one like Him. He is greater than anyone and everything and He has given us so much that we don’t deserve like life itself and even better eternal life with Him by sending us His Son. I want to praise God non-stop for how amazing He is.

  37. Callie says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    Wow! He says it four times! This whole chapter emphasizes how we need to praise God. Sometimes I sing without thinking much about the words, but the whole point is to praise God. I need to think about God and really worship Him in everything.

  38. Christopher Eriksen says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    This psalm really convicted me that if God is as good as I know He is I should really be praising Him more. God is so good that I am not going to even try to describe it because I would utterly fail. And I have experienced His goodness firsthand, especially when He saved me. Why then am I not saying thanks and rejoicing in Him all day long? I really need to be saying thank you and praising God in song a lot more than I do, because God has been so good to me and is so utterly deserving of my praise.

  39. Good morning! haha kidding. HI.

    In this Psalm today, no specific verse really stood out to me. The whole chapter seemed to point to one thing…the things about God that we should praise him for. David is telling us in the first couple verses that we should praise God, and then he finishes off the chapter by talking about how God has blessed him and his people. The thing I took from this chapter was that my way of praying needs to make some changes. Instead of me constantly asking and asking God for things, with the occasional thank you, I need to throw in a lot more simple praise. I can simply just praise him for simple things like how he has blessed me in my famiy, friends, and what he is already doing in the non-christians of orange county. This week, I am going to change my way of prayer and give God a lot more praise.

  40. Evan McKee says:

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    God is so amazing. there are so many things that we can praise him for. This verse reminded me that I should praise him more often, because it isn’t something I normally think about, and he definitely deserves everyone’s praise.

  41. Maddie Nadeau :) says:

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    the Lord is SO amazing!! He gives us everything we have and so much more! It is him who gave us life, and it is by Christ that we are saved. I pray that everyday we can raise our voices to him in thanks for all of the gratious things the Lord our God has givin to us.

    I loved reading this verse this morning before church! Our God is awesome, and he is worthy of all my worship all the time!

    MARANATHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. Brennan says:

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    This verse is a great reminder of how great god is and how powerful he is. This verse should keep us accountable to know that when sin we are offending the great king over all the earth. If you truly think about it most of us would straight up insult or disgrace obama to his face. With that in mind, how could we ever disrace a king as great as God.

  44. jwade says:

    7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.

    God has given us the privilege of singing to Him and praising Him with songs. we as humans love music and i am sooooo grateful that God commands us to praise Him through music. since God has given us this privilege we have to sing out! i personally NEED to make sure i am into the worship and my mind isnt drifting off to unimportant things.

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    This whole Psalm is about God and his greatness!!!! God is truly great and powerful and He deserves everyday to be praised not just for his awesomness but for his mercy and love He also shows towards us everyday of our lives!!

    PRAISE GOD FOR HIS GREATNESS RULES OVER EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

    MARANATHA!!!!!!!!!!!

    Enough said! hahah this is what i need to be thinking every morning when i wake up. “Today i will live for the Lord, He is awesome and king over all the earth!”

  47. Lauren Goudgeeee says:

    why hello there!
    7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.—I always need to be thinking that God is truly King of everthing and everyone so I must obey what He commands and live out His commands whole-heartedly! So many people never think about how powereful God is and who He is as King. It is so amazing to know that God is just and loving, that He makes everything right and He loves me no matter what and I need to be reminded that because I always need to be living out my life showing that I know God loves me no matter what and just live out His word!

    This weekends sermon was so amazing Pastor Ben! It got me soo pumped! I will praying for everyone that we will be Active, Bold, and Clear when preaching on campuses!! :D

  48. Missed being at True North this weekend…but am having a great time on vacation with my family! God is good and has given a very clear direction for what we are going to do at True North this year…going to be the most EPIC yet…

    Always encouraging to read the comments here on SOTD…

    7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.

    In America we might think this is a democracy and each of us are free to do whatever we want, but that’s not true. God reigns over America. Unfortunately, most people in our country aren’t giving God praise they are turning from his holy ways. We cannot compromise with the culture around us. We need to be strangers from their sinful lifestyle. I am praying that I will stand out and praise God!

  49. Mady says:

    goooood evening everybody :)

    This is an awesome Psalm! it basically just talks about praising and thanking God because he totally deserves it! I especially liked verse 6. The sons of Korah are really only thinking about praising God! I need to praise God more for what he has done in my life and for sending his Son to save me :)))

    thanks for the awesome message Ben! I’m excited for school to start now!!

  50. Lizzie Holt :D says:

    47 comments so far…psalm 47…coincidence? i think not.

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.
    7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.

    Apparently I need to sing praises to God the King! Of course I already knew that but this verse popped off the page for me because it says to sing praises to Him FIVE times in TWO verses. Now why else would it be said that many times if it was not important, hmm? God is sooo amazing and He deserves so much that we cannot even ever hope to give for He has given us so much! Eternal life with Him, His love, and salvation!! Not to mention so many other countless things in our personal-everyday-lives. Now if that isnt reason to sing to Him, I dont know what else is. And besides, the Bible is telling us to do it, which means God is because it is HIS WORD. This leads me to another point, I often praise God in times of joy and pleasure, but when the bad times come, I don’t neccessarily think of praising God. But I really should! If I look around me, other people have it so much worse. So much more worse(sorry about grammar, its late) that I should have no reason to complain or not praise Him. God, help me to praise you with equal joy through thick and thin and let me never turn from you!!

    MARANATHA!!!

    1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.

    2 How awesome is the LORD Most High, the great King over all the earth!

    Ya this plasm is short but sweet!!! God is all powerful and can do anything. We need to praise god for all he has done and for how powerful and glorious he is.

    6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

    Most of the time I’m pretty enthusiastic in my worship…unless a)I don’t know the song (in which case I close my eyes and listen and try to hum along or something) or b) I don’t feel well. Since I’ve been sick the past few days I kept feeling like not singing this morning. But when I’m sick, I should realize that it’s even more important to be praising Him joyfully and openly…otherwise I might fall into a bad habit. This Psalm is reminding me of the importance of not being closed in while giving our LORD praise. I pray that I’ll always be giving my all to worshiping Him, no matter how I feel or where I am!

    it is cool that it says sing praises over and over again in this verse. i can picture him sitting there writing this psalm and just rewriting it over and over to emphasize how important it is. i need to work on singing to him not only when i am in a good mood but also when i may be in a not so good mood

    Psalm 47

    God’s sovereignty over the Earth is to be praised. We need to respond to God’s Majesty with adoration and respect. Why is it that we believe in God but the only time we praise Him is at Church or when it’s convenient? Is our view of God high? Do we treat the Lord of the universe like we do a distant friend? This Psalm clearly states that we should exalt the name of the Lord and sing praise to Him all day long. I pray that at True North students would elevate their view of God truly believing that He is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. We need to live a life of fear and reverence for the Lord so we have a Biblical view of who God truly is.

    Psalm 99:1 The LORD reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. 2 Great is the LORD in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations. 3 Let them praise your great and awesome name— he is holy.

    1 Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy.

    When I read this verse I though a lot about our worship nights and how everytime it is so amazing and I just stand there close my eyes and give praise to the Mighty amazing God. It is so amazing!!
