Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

So the heathen -The nations. That is, The surrounding people, who hear what thou hast done for thy people, will see the evidence that thou art God, and learn to love and worship thee. Shall fear the name of the Lord -Shall reverence and honor thee. And all the kings of the earth thy glory -The sovereigns of the earth will be especially affected and impressed with thy majesty.
