All the earth shall worship thee, etc.] The Messiah, who is equal with God; the Creator of men; the Redeemer of his people; the Head of the church, and King of saints; their Lord, and therefore to be worshipped; with internal worship, in the exercise of faith, hope, and love; and with external worship, in the word and ordinances, by prayer and praise, public and private. This universal worship, that will be yielded him, will be in the latter day; which shows that this psalm respects those times, when Christ shall be King over all the earth, and his name, worship, and religion, one, (<381409>Zechariah 14:9,16 <661504>Revelation 15:4); and shall sing unto thee; the song of Moses and the Lamb, the Lamb’s new song, the song of redeeming grace; which none but the redeemed ever can sing aright, (<661403>Revelation 14:3 15:3); they shall sing [to] thy name; or, “they shall”, or “let them sing thy name” f866 ; thou shall be the subject of their song; thy person, offices, kingdom, grace, and glory: or they shall sing to the honour of thy name, as in (<196602>Psalm 66:2). Selah; on this word, (see Gill on “<190302>Psalm 3:2”).
