In Psalm 47, the psalmist calls all people to enthusiastic, communal praise of God as the great King over all the earth. Pastor Caleb McMains draws from this text to argue that praise is not optional, mood-dependent, or self-serving — it is an act of obedience rooted in surrender. Praise belongs to God alone, it functions as a continual sacrifice offered through Jesus (Hebrews 13:15), and it demands the whole person — heart, soul, mind, and body — in line with Jesus's summary of the greatest commandment in Mark 12.
