A Plea for God's Visible Action
This verse is a heartfelt prayer for God to act in a visible and powerful way. Commentators explain that 'thy work' refers to God's intervention, whether it's delivering His people from suffering, the work of salvation through Christ, or the work of the Holy Spirit in believers' hearts. The 'glory' is the magnificent display of His character—His power, grace, and goodness—that results from His actions.
