1. O praise the Lord, all
ye nations. This is an exhortation to the Gentiles to
glorify Jehovah, and a clear proof that the Old Testament spirit differed
widely from that narrow and contracted national bigotry with which the Jews of
our Lord’s day became so inveterately diseased. The nations could not be
expected to join in the praise of Jehovah unless they were also to be partakers
of the benefits which Israel enjoyed; and hence the psalm was an intimation to
Israel that the grace and mercy of their God were not confined to one nation,
but would in happier days be extended to all the race, as Moses had prophesied
when he said, “Rejoice, O ye nations, his
people” (Deuteronomy 32:43), for so the Hebrew has it. The nations were to be his
people. He would call them a people that were not a people, and her beloved
that was not beloved. Individuals have already been gathered out of every
kindred and people and tongue by the preaching of the Gospel, and these are but
the advance-guard of a number which no one can number who will come ere long to
worship the all-glorious One. Praise him, all ye people. Having done it
once, do it again, and still more fervently, daily increasing in the reverence
and zeal with which you extol the Most High. The multitude of the common folk
will bless the Lord. Under the Gospel dispensation we worship the God of
Abraham; the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
