Introduction
Psalm 47: Today’s reading is a psalm proclaiming that God is our supreme ruler. It is a celebratory hymn in praise of God’s kingship and was probably used in some form of liturgical procession.
Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 47:8
God sits on his sacred throne; he rules over the nations.
Reflect
Psalm 47 was most likely used as a hymn in a festival liturgy. Christians associate this psalm with Jesus’s ascension into heaven, and Jewish people associate this psalm with Rosh Hashanah, the beginning of the new year. Reread verses 1–7. What are worshipers instructed to do? How are festal occasions celebrated in your community of faith?
Pray
Sovereign God, your reign is eternal. With my whole being I praise your holy name. With a song in my heart, I joyfully proclaim your love for all people. You are king over all the world. Reign in my heart, Lord God! Amen.
