The use of "therefore" indicates a response to God's previous actions, specifically His deliverance from enemies, as recounted in the preceding verses. The phrase "among the nations" signifies the universal scope of God's sovereignty and the call for His praise beyond Israel. This anticipates the New Testament mission to the Gentiles, as seen in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a>, where Jesus commands His disciples to make disciples of all nations. The idea of praising God among the nations also aligns with the Abrahamic covenant in <a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>, where all peoples on earth will be blessed through Abraham's descendants.<p><b>I will sing praises to Your name.</b><br>Singing praises is a common biblical expression of worship and gratitude. In the cultural context of ancient Israel, music and song were integral to worship, as seen in the Psalms, many of which are attributed to David. The "name" of the LORD represents His character and deeds, emphasizing the personal relationship between God and His people. This act of singing praises is not only a personal expression of faith but also a public declaration of God's greatness. It foreshadows the worship of Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of God's promises, as seen in <a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>, where every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The author of this song of praise, David is the king of Israel and a man after God's own heart.
