8 Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard;
8 O bless our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard:
8 Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of his praise be heard,
8 Bless our God, O peoples! Give him a thunderous welcome!
8 Oh, bless our God, you peoples! And make the voice of His praise to be heard,
8 Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing his praises.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 66:8
Commentary on Psalm 66:8-12
(Read Psalm 66:8-12)
The Lord not only preserves our temporal life, but maintains the spiritual life which he has given to believers. By afflictions we are proved, as silver in the fire. The troubles of the church will certainly end well. Through various conflicts and troubles, the slave of Satan escapes from his yoke, and obtains joy and peace in believing: through much tribulation the believer must enter into the kingdom of God.
