Praise Follows Reputation
Commentators explain that God's praise isn't based on empty words but on His "name"—His reputation, character, and mighty acts. Unlike the idols of other nations, which had names but no power, the God of Israel's fame is built on His real, observable deeds. As people learn who God truly is and what He has done, genuine praise naturally follows, spreading "unto the ends of the earth."
