God ascends among shouts of joy,
the Lord, among the sound of trumpets.
Sing praise to God, sing praise;
sing praise to our King, sing praise!
I remember a song we sang as a kid "♫ ♪ Clap your hands, all ye people, shout unto God with a voice of triumph. Clap your hands, all ye people, shout unto God with a voice of praise! Hosanna! Hosanna! ♫ ♪
Here's a song by the famous Ralph Vaughn Williams that is nothing like that. haha. But beautiful. And the red robes! Awesome!
So many of the Psalms bring to mind lines from songs and choruses we sing. This was evocative of a couple different ones I know.
ReplyDeleteNo matter which translation I read this Psalm over in, I am struck by how much it just praises God for His majesty and awesomeness. When I sometimes get very myopic in my view of circumstances or "my" world, this is a great psalm to remind me that it's not about me. It's all about God.
