Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 47:3

3. He shall subdue the people under us , and the nations under our feet.

Or, l[illegible: 1+ letters]ad like Sheep; Or, [illegible: 1+ letters]ring into the Fold, as divers render the Word, by Comparing Isa. 5. 17. Mich. 2. 12. He seems to speak of such a Subjugation of them, as was for the good of the People subdued, because this is Matter of Rejoy[illegible: 1+ letters] ing to them, v. 1. Which is true both of those People whom David subdued, who thereby had Opportunities, Obligations and Encouragements, to own and Worship the true God, which was the onely way to their true and lasting Happiness; and especially of those Gentiles, who were subdued to Christ, by the preaching of the Gospel.

The Gentile-Converts were in some sort brought under the Iews, because they were subjected to Christ, and to his Apostles, and to the primitive Church, which were Iews. Or, the Psalmist may speak this in the Name of the whole Church, which then were Israelites onely, but afterwards were made up of Iews and Gentiles, unto which all particular Believers, were to submit themselves in and for the Lord.
