All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah.
2Sing to the glory of his name! Offer glory and praise!
3Tell God, “How awesome are your deeds! Through the greatness of your power, your enemies submit themselves to you.
4All the earth will worship you, and will sing to you; they will sing to your name.” Selah.
5Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.
6He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.
Notice
“All the earth” stretches worship beyond the people you know, while the repeated singing keeps God’s name at the center of that vast praise.
