Psalms 47:2

For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth.

Ver. 2. For the Lord most high is terrible] Amiable to his own, terrible to his rebels. This Son, if not kissed, will be angry, Psa 2:12 This Lamb, for a need, can show himself a lion; as he is the Father of mercies, so the God of recompenses, &c., and being most high, he can easily overtop and subdue the stoutest of his enemies.

He is a great King over all the earth] As having taken possession, by his wonderful ascension, of the universal kingdom given him by his Father, and gathered himself a Church out of all mankind, which he wonderfully ruleth and defendeth against the rage of earth and of hell.
