Psalms47:5

Verſ. 5. God is gone up with a ſhout] The Ark is here called God, as alſo Pſa. 132.5. and the face of God, Pſ. 105.4. becauſe from the Ark, in the midſt of the Cherubims, God ſpake to his people, and they by looking towards it had a ſure ſymbol of the Divine preſence. The bringing of it up with pomp and ſolemnity into Mount Zion, was a type of Chriſts wonderful aſcenſion into Heaven, triumphing over all his and our enemies, Col. 2.15. Eph. 4.8. and joyfully entertained by Saints and Angels in Heaven. The Jews, ever apt to work themſelves (as one ſaith of them) into the foolsparadiſe of a ſublime dotage) underſtand this paſſage of the future reduction of the Ark into the Sanctuary, where it was once: and for the which they moſt earneſtly pray ſtill, as Buxtorf. writeth.

With the ſound of a trumpet] Concrepantibus tubis: and in like ſort he ſhall return;De Syuags Jud. c. 13 Acts 1.11. with 1 Thſ. 4.16.
