Psalms 47:1-2

Here is a call from one awakened soul to another, nay, to all the people of God, to all the church of the Gentiles also, yet to be called to rejoice in Christ's salvation. The clapping of the hands implies perhaps not merely an outward token of inward delight; but it means let every demonstration be given, both by soul and body, of what a glorious cause for holy triumph there is in the consciousness of our risen, ascended, and triumphant Saviour.
