SCRIPTURE

"All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; They shall sing to thy name. Selah" — Psalms 66:4 (ASV)

All the earth shall worship you
The Messiah, who is equal with God; the Creator of men; the Redeemer of his people; the Head of the church, and King of saints; their Lord, and therefore to be worshipped; with internal worship, in the exercise of faith, hope, and love; and with external worship, in the word and ordinances, by prayer and praise, public and private. This universal worship, that will be yielded him, will be in the latter day; which shows that this psalm respects those times, when Christ shall be King over all the earth, and his name, worship, and religion, one, (Zechariah 14:9Zechariah 14:16) (Revelation 15:4) ;

and shall sing unto you ;
the song of Moses and the Lamb, the Lamb's new song, the song of redeeming grace; which none but the redeemed ever can sing aright, (Revelation 14:3) (15:3) ;

they shall sing [to] your name ;
or, "they shall", or "let them sing your name" F24 ; you shall be the subject of their song; your person, offices, kingdom, grace, and glory: or they shall sing to the honour of your name, as in (Psalms 66:2) .

Selah; on this word, (See Gill on Psalms 3:2).
