Psalm 47

"Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples!
Shout to God with the voice of triumph!
2 For the Lord Most High is awesome;
He is a great King over all the earth." vv.1-2

Clapping your hands is a non-verbal sign for applause all over the world.  It's the most natural way to show enthusiasm or excitement.  And following that is to shout for joy with excitement.  This psalm is a picture of that future excitement when God is reigning as King over all the earth.  When He has returned and taken heaven as His throne and earth as His footstool.   The Lord Most High is called "awesome" or in other words awe-inspirinig.  "The Hebrew word now translated awesome is mowra, which means “fear,” “reverence,” or “terror.” Mowra is the noun form of the Hebrew verb yare. In the Bible, mowra and yare always refer to something or someone that inspires reverence or godly fear. KJV translators used the English words terrible, dreadful, and fearful to convey the Hebrew meaning. But modern translators decided those adjectives gave the wrong impression about God and His works, so they used awesome instead. According to an online word origin dictionary, awesome appeared in the 1670s and meant “inspiring awe.” It was used almost exclusively to describe God and His works."  How would you define the word awesome that is used today?  Do we appropriately call fresh baked cookies awesome just as we call God awesome?  See how often you use or hear that word.  Try to only use it when referring to God and give it the original meaning how God used it.  Cant wait to clap and shout for joy with you in our Awesome God's presence!
