“God is king of all the earth.
Sing praises with a psalm!
God is the king over the nations.
God sits on his holy throne.
The princes of the peoples gather
As the people of the God of Abraham.
The shields of the earth
Belong to God.
He is highly exalted!”
This short psalm comes to an end where it began, proclaiming that God is king of the world, not just Israel, as in the first verses. He is the king of everyone. He sits on his throne. The princes of the world gather together with the people of the God of Abraham. All the protections or shields of the world belong to God. This might be a reference to the shields of the various rulers with their gang sign symbols. Once again we end with the idea that God is highly exalted in this psalm of worship.
