psalms 47:5 God is gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet.

psalms 47:5 God has ascended with a shout, The LORD, with the sound of a trumpet.

5-7. God, victorious over His enemies, reascends to heaven, amid the triumphant praises of His people, who celebrate His sovereign dominion. This sovereignty is what the Psalm teaches; hence he adds,
sing . . . praises with understanding--literally, "sing and play an instructive (Psalm)." The whole typifies Christ's ascension (compare Ps 68:18).

psalms 47:5 God has ascended with a shout, The LORD, with the sound of a trumpet.
