Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 66:7

66:7 He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious {e} exalt themselves. Selah.(e) He proves that God will extend his grace also to the Gentiles, because he punishes among them such as will not obey his calling. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 66:5-7

The Psalmist is here inviting the people to peruse the account of the deliverance of Israel from Egypt. And evidently the Holy Ghost intends this ministry of his servant to be directed as a means, in his almighty hand, to consider in that history the spiritual deliverance of God's Israel from the Egypt of sin, and death, and hell, by the glorious victory of the Lord Jesus Christ. Here, Reader, let us come and see the works of our covenant God. Here let us behold how the sea and floods of sin... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 66:7

Fruit, after rain; or, in a spiritual sense, Jesus Christ, the root, or bud of Jesse, (Isaias iv. 2.; Calmet) born in Judea, (Berthier) of the holy Virgin. (St. Jerome) --- God. The triple repetition of God's name, insinuates the blessed Trinity, (Haydock; Fathers) and the prophet's earnestness. (Calmet) --- The faith of the Trinity is to be preached throughout the world, (Haydock) for the salvation of nations. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 66:1-7

1-7 The holy church throughout all the world lifts up her voice, to laud that Name which is above every name, to make the praise of Jesus glorious, both by word and deed; that others may be led to glorify him also. But nothing can bring men to do this aright, unless his effectual grace create their hearts anew unto holiness; and in the redemption by the death of Christ, and the glorious deliverances it effects, are more wondrous works than Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage. read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 66:1-15

“Come and See the Works of God” Psalms 66:1-15 Some of the old expositors speak of this psalm as “the Lord’s Prayer in the Old Testament.” A summons to praise, Psalms 66:1-4 The devout soul cannot be glad alone. It demands sympathy in its raptures. All the earth is not too great for an orchestra, nor all mankind for a choir. God’s love may compel a feigned obedience, Psalms 66:3 , R.V., margin, but the divine Spirit changes the heart. Divine deliverance, Psalms 66:5-12 Come and see.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 66:1-20

This is one of the most beautiful of the songs of worship. It is divided into two parts by a change from the use of the plural pronoun (verses Psa 66:1-12 ) to the use of the singular (verses Psa 66:13-20 ). In the first part all the earth is called on to worship God because of what He has done for His people. This is a recognition of the true function of the people of God, which is to reveal God to the outside nations in such a way as to constrain them to worship. In the second half the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 66:5-6

b). A Call For Them To Remember And Take Note Of What God Has Done For His People In The Past (Psalms 66:5-6 ). The nations are now called on to consider what God has done in the past (the crossing of the Red Sea and the crossing of the Jordan are to some extent combined in the description), in revealing His divine activity in the opening up of the sea and in the destruction of the pursuing Egyptian army, demonstrating through it that He is awesome, all-powerful and fierce in His activity.... read more

c). A Warning To The Nations To Remember In The Light Of His Historic Activity That He Is Observing Them (Psalms 66:7 ). Psalms 66:7 ‘He rules by his might for ever, His eyes observe the nations, Let not the rebellious exalt themselves. [Selah.’ And just as God observed what the Egyptians were seeking to do at the Red Sea, so are the nations to recognise that He observes their activity against His people as well. He rules the world by His power, and His eyes sees all that they do (compare... read more
