Bible commentary

Wesley's Notes for Psalms 47:5


47:5 God - This is meant literally of the ark: but mystically of Christ's ascension into heaven, as may be gathered by comparing this with #Eph 4:8|, where the like words uttered concerning the ark upon the same occasion, #Psal 68:18|, are directly applied to Christ's ascension.
