Psalms 86:10

"All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name."

Key Reflection

Psalms 86:10 speaks to the universal sovereignty of God and His anticipated acknowledgment across all peoples. In the first-century context, this verse resonated with the expectation that despite the diversity of nations and their varied beliefs, they would ultimately come to recognize and worship the one true God, as He had made them all. This promise encapsulates a hope for ultimate redemption and recognition of Yahweh’s supremacy, reflecting the belief in a monotheistic God who would be universally acknowledged.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things -Things suited to excite wonder or admiration; things which lie beyond the power of any creature, and which could be performed by no one but a being of almighty power. A God who could do these things could also do that which the psalmist asked of him, for what God actually does proves that there is nothing within the limits of possibility which he cannot perform. The greatness and the power of God are reasons why we should appeal to him in our weakness, and in our times of trouble. Thou art God alone -Thou only canst do what a God can do, or what belongs to God.
