The term "peoples" suggests a plurality of nations, indicating that God's glory and sovereignty are to be recognized by all humanity, not just Israel. This reflects the Abrahamic covenant in <a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>, where God promises that all peoples on earth will be blessed through Abraham's descendants. The call for universal praise anticipates the Great Commission in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>, where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations. Theologically, it underscores the belief that God is the Creator and Lord of all, deserving worship from every corner of the earth.<p><b>let all the peoples praise You.</b><br>The repetition of the call for all peoples to praise God reinforces the inclusivity and urgency of this worship. It highlights the eschatological vision found in <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9</a>, where a great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language stands before the throne of God. This vision of universal worship is a fulfillment of the prophetic hope seen throughout the Old Testament, such as in <a href="/isaiah/56-7.htm">Isaiah 56:7</a>, where God's house is called a house of prayer for all nations. The phrase also points to the messianic expectation that through the Messiah, all nations will come to know and worship the true God, as seen in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, who broke down the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile (<a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, God is the one to whom praise is directed.
