From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

All nations whom thou hast made shall come ... -In this verse the psalmist expresses his belief that the conviction which he entertained about the ability of God to save - about his being the only true God - would yet pervade all the nations of the earth; that they all would yet be convinced that he was the true God, and would come and worship him alone. So clear to him seemed to be the evidence of the existence and perfections of God that he did not doubt that all people would come yet to see it also, and to acknowledge him. CompareIsaiah 2:2-3;Isaiah 60:3-14;Psalms 2:8;Psalms 72:17. And shall glorify thy name -Shall honor thee as the true God.
