A Prophecy for All Nations

Nearly all commentators highlight that the Apostle Paul quotes this verse in Romans 15:9. They explain that while David was singing about his own deliverance, his vow to praise God 'among the nations' was a prophecy. It revealed God's ultimate plan to extend salvation beyond Israel to all people (the Gentiles) through the future work of Jesus Christ.
