Study note
Setting — The psalmist addresses God directly, framing the verse as the expected response to His revealed ways and salvation among the nations.
The words — The Hebrew יוֹד֖וּךָ and י֝וֹד֗וּךָ (yo.Du./kha) literally mean "may they praise you," with the suffix explicitly targeting God. This verb governs עַמִּים ('a.Mim, "peoples") and is reinforced by כֻּלָּם (ku.La/m, "all of them") in a doubled command.
The thread — The identical phrasing reappears in Psalms 67:5, while the theme of nations praising God extends to Psalms 74:21 and Psalms 45:17.
Why it lands — The text issues a direct command for collective worship from every group, establishing universal praise as the necessary outcome of God's known salvation and just rule.
