Psalm 86:9

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

7In the day of my trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.
8There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.
9All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name.
10For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone.
11Teach me your way, LORD. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
