glorify

Romans 15:9
And that the Gentiles might glorify God forhis mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.

Ephesians 1:12
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

1 Peter 2:9
But yeare a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

will come and bow before You, O Lord
This phrase prophesies a future time when all nations will recognize and submit to God's authority. It is reminiscent ofPhilippians 2:10-11, where it is declared that every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Historically, this reflects the eschatological hope found in the Old Testament, where the nations are envisioned as coming to worship the God of Israel (Isaiah 2:2-4). Culturally, bowing is a sign of reverence and submission, indicating that all people will ultimately acknowledge God's supremacy.

and they will glorify Your name
The glorification of God's name signifies the acknowledgment of His holiness, power, and majesty. In biblical context, God's name represents His character and essence. This phrase aligns with the prophetic vision inIsaiah 60:1-3, where nations are drawn to the light of God's glory. It also connects to the worship scenes in Revelation, where people from every tribe, tongue, and nation praise God (Revelation 7:9-10). This universal worship fulfills the Abrahamic promise that through his descendants, all nations of the earth will be blessed (Genesis 12:3), ultimately pointing to the redemptive work of Christ.

• God is the Creator of every people group, so His claim on them is absolute. “The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof” (Psalm 24:1).

• His promise to bless “all the families of the earth” through Abraham (Genesis 12:3) shows that the verse’s sweep is rooted in God’s covenant plan.

• Paul echoes the same truth: “From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth” (Acts 17:26).

• The picture is not symbolic or limited;Revelation 7:9 affirms a literal multinational throng around God’s throne.

• “Every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will confess allegiance” (Isaiah 45:23; cf.Philippians 2:10-11).Psalm 86:9 shares that future certainty.

• Bowing indicates submission, worship, and recognition of God’s rightful rule.

•Revelation 15:4 shows the nations actually doing this: “All the nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

• This is not coerced humiliation but joyful acknowledgement of His supremacy.

• David addresses the covenant Lord personally; the relationship is intimate, not abstract.Exodus 3:15 reminds us that “the LORD” is the eternal, self-existent God.

• Calling Him “Lord” assumes authority;1 Chronicles 29:11 declares, “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power….”

• The verse reassures believers that the One who will receive worldwide worship is the same faithful Lord who hears our personal prayers (Psalm 86:7).

• Glorifying God’s name means celebrating His character and works.Isaiah 60:21 foretells, “They will possess the land forever… the work of My hands, that I may be glorified.”

• Jesus pointed to this purpose for His disciples: “Let your light shine… so that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

• In the end, every creature joins the song: “To Him who sits on the throne… be blessing and honor and glory” (Revelation 5:13).

• The verse anticipates that universal chorus, highlighting God’s unshared glory (Isaiah 42:8).

Psalm 86:9 confidently announces that the God who created every nation will one day receive visible, heartfelt worship from them all. The verse spans creation (“You have made”), future fulfillment (“will come and bow”), covenant relationship (“O Lord”), and ultimate purpose (“they will glorify Your name”). It invites us to live now in light of that certain future—joining the global, eternal praise that is sure to come.
