This document contains excerpts from three biblical passages that reference God's sovereignty. Psalm 47 celebrates God as the great king who rules over all nations and subdued countries. It encourages singing praises to God. 1 Timothy charges the reader to obey God's commands until Jesus returns as the immortal King of kings and Lord of lords. Revelation describes God ascending his throne amid shouts and trumpet blasts as the awe-inspiring sovereign ruler over all the earth.

1. Revelation

11. All you nations, clap your hands! Shout out to
God in celebration! For the sovereign Lord is
awe-inspiring; he is the great king who rules
the whole earth! He subdued nations beneath
us and countries under our feet. He picked out
for us a special land to be a source of pride for
Jacob, whom he loves. God has ascended his
throne amid loud shouts; the Lord has
ascended his throne amid the blaring of ram’s
horns.
Psalm 47

12. Sing to God! Sing! Sing to our king! Sing! For
God is king of the whole earth! Sing a well-
written song! God reigns over the nations! God
sits on his holy throne! The nobles of the
nations assemble, along with the people of the
God of Abraham, for God has authority over the
rulers of the earth. He is highly exalted!
Psalm 47

14. I charge you before God who gives life to all
things and Christ Jesus who made his good
confession before Pontius Pilate, to obey this
command without fault or failure until the
appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ – whose
appearing the blessed and only Sovereign, the
King of kings and Lord of lords, will reveal at
the right time. He alone possesses immortality
and lives in unapproachable light, whom no
human has ever seen or is able to see. To him be
honor and eternal power! Amen.
1 Timothy 6:13-16
