Psalms 66:1

“Make a joyful noise unto God, etc.] The Creator of the ends of the earth; the Provider for all his creatures; and the Dispenser of the blessings of grace, under the Gospel dispensation, to men in all countries. The Messiah may well be thought to be intended, since the psalm refers to Gospel times; who is God over all, blessed for ever; to whom a joyful noise, shouts, and acclamations, are to be made by all his subjects, true believers in him, in all lands, as to their King; (see <042321>Numbers 23:21); who is ascended on high, has led captivity captive; received gifts for then, and gives them to them; is enthroned on his Father’s right hand, is crowned with glory and honour, where he reigns,…”

“The writer invites all men to unite in praise, cites some striking occasions for it, promises special acts of thanksgiving, and celebrates God's great mercy. (Psa. 66:1-20) Make . . . noise--or, "Shout."”

“Make a joyful noise unto God - literally, “Shout.” It is a call for exultation and praise. All ye lands - Margin, as in Hebrew, all the earth. The occasion was one that made universal exultation and praise proper. They who had been so deeply affected by the gracious interposition of God, could not but call on all the nations of the earth to unite with them in the expression of joy. The deliverance was so great that they wished all to rejoice with them (compare Luke 15:6, Luke 15:9); and the intervention of God in the case of his people, furnished lessons about his character which gave occasion to all men to rejoice. return to 'Top of Page'”

“All lands - Ye people of all nations. He invites the Gentile world, to the contemplation and celebration of God's works. Psalms 66:6”

“Ps 66 This anonymous psalm includes two hymns (66:1-12, 13-20) that praise God for his redemption. 66:1-4 The psalmist exhorts nature to join in a mighty chorus to praise God’s glory, name, and power.”

“am 3469, bc 535 Make: Psa 81:1, Psa 95:1, Psa 95:2, Psa 98:4, Psa 100:1; Ch1 15:28 all ye lands: Heb. all the earth, Psa 96:1, Psa 117:1, Psa 117:2, Psa 150:6; Ch1 16:23, Ch1 16:24; Isa 24:16 Psalms 66:2”

“The phrase שׂים כבוד ל signifies "to give glory to God" in other passages ( Jos 7:19; Isa 42:12), here with a second accusative, either (1) if we take תּהלּתו as an accusative of the object: facite laudationem ejus gloriam = gloriosam (Maurer and others), or (2) if we take כבוד as an accusative of the object and the former word as an accusative of the predicate: reddite honorem laudem ejus (Hengstenberg), or (3) also by taking תהלתו as an apposition: reddite honorem, scil. laudem ejus (Hupfeld). We prefer the middle rendering: give glory as His praise, i.e., to Him as or for praise. It is unnecessary, with Hengstenberg, to render: How terrible art Thou in Thy works! in that case אתּה ought…”
