All the nations
The phrase "All the nations" refers to the entirety of the world's peoples, transcending ethnic, cultural, and geographical boundaries. In the Hebrew text, the word for "nations" is "goyim," which often denotes Gentiles or non-Israelite peoples. This highlights the universal scope of God's sovereignty and the inclusivity of His divine plan. Historically, Israel was chosen to be a light to the nations, and this verse prophetically envisions a time when all people, regardless of their origin, will recognize and worship the one true God. This aligns with the Great Commission in the New Testament, where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19).

You have made
The acknowledgment that God has made all nations underscores His role as the Creator of all humanity. This phrase emphasizes God's omnipotence and the fact that every nation exists by His will and design. The Hebrew verb "asah" conveys the idea of crafting or fashioning, indicating intentionality and purpose in creation. This serves as a reminder that every nation and individual is part of God's sovereign plan, and it is His desire that all come to know Him.

will come and bow before You
The act of coming and bowing is a gesture of submission and reverence. In the ancient Near Eastern context, bowing was a common practice to show respect and acknowledge authority. The Hebrew word "shachah" means to bow down or prostrate oneself, often in worship. This prophetic vision anticipates a future where all nations will recognize God's supreme authority and willingly submit to His lordship. It reflects the eschatological hope found in Philippians 2:10-11, where every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

O Lord
The title "O Lord" is a translation of the Hebrew "Adonai," a name that signifies God's lordship and authority. It is a term of respect and acknowledgment of God's position as the sovereign ruler. In the context of this psalm, it is a personal and relational address, indicating the psalmist's intimate knowledge of and trust in God. This title reminds believers of their relationship with God as both their Creator and their personal Lord.

and they will glorify Your name
To glorify God's name means to honor and exalt His character and attributes. The Hebrew word "kabad" conveys the idea of giving weight or significance, suggesting that God's name is to be held in the highest esteem. In biblical times, a name was more than just an identifier; it represented the essence and reputation of a person. Thus, glorifying God's name involves recognizing His holiness, righteousness, and love. This phrase anticipates a time when all people will acknowledge God's greatness and give Him the honor He is due, fulfilling the ultimate purpose of creation as described in Revelation 4:11.

(9) For this wide prospect of Divine dominion see Psalm 22:31; Isaiah 43:7.

Verse 9. - All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord (comp. Psalm 72:11, 17; Psalm 82:8, etc.). Since God had made all nations (Acts 17:26), it was safe to conclude that they would all one day worship him. The prophecy, however, still remains unfulfilled. And shall glorify thy Name. Either with their lips, or in their lives, or in both ways. Compare the anticipations of Isaiah (Isaiah 66:23), Zephaniah (Zephaniah 2:10), and Zechariah (Zechariah 14:9, 16).
