Matthew Henry on Psalm 47:7
But here is a needful rule subjoined (v. 7): Sing you praises with understanding, with Maschil. 1. "Intelligently; as those that do yourselves understand why and for what reasons you praise God and what is the meaning of the service." This is the gospel-rule (1 Cor. xiv. 15), to sing with the spirit and with the understanding also; it is only with the heart that we make melody to the Lord, Eph. v. 19.
