‘For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.'
See introduction to part 2.
The Psalm divides easily into two as indicated by ‘Selah'. The first half describes Who and What God is as YHWH Most High, King over all the earth, and the One Who has chosen out, and acted on behalf of, His people in the past. The second half has in mind the acclamation of YHWH as a result of the signal deliverance that He has wrought for His people, which has demonstrated His worldwide Kingship and glory, and has resulted in the nations of the world acknowledging His Kingship and becoming His people too. It is a depiction of God as Lord over all, and is a foretaste of God's final triumph in Christ.
