Psalms 47:3

He subjugates (speaks – Hebr. davar) [and by his word compels] the peoples under us,
and the nations (countries) under our feet.
[The common Hebr. word for speak (Hebr. davar) is used here. The word has to do with communication but has a broader meaning in creating and causing consequences. Some see the word here and in Ps. 18:47 as a homonym – a word that is spelled the same but has a different meaning. That may be the case, but regardless, there is a connection to "speaking" in the sense of "ruling." In the Book of Revelation, Jesus has a sword in his mouth. There and in several other places, there is the same connection between words and power, see Isa. 2:3–4; Rev 1:16; 19:15. The immediate context and the likely association for those who sang the psalm in the temple is how God was with the Israelites when they conquered the land of Canaan. At the same time, the Hebrew verb form in these verses points to something that is happening now but will be completed in the future.]
