9. I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people. Gentiles will hear my praise. Here is an instance of the way in which
the truly devout evangelic spirit o’erleaps the boundaries which bigotry sets
up. The ordinary Jew would never wish the Gentile dogs to hear Jehovah’s name,
except to tremble at it; but this grace-taught psalmist has a missionary
spirit, and would spread the praise and fame of his God. I will sing unto thee among the nations. However far off they may be, I would make them hear
of thee through my glad psalmody.
