תהלים, פרק קמ״ז, פסוק כ׳

The relationship between God and the Israelites is defined by a unique and exclusive gift. By granting them the Torah and its commandments, God set Israel apart as His treasured people. The primary approach among commentators is that God intentionally withheld this gift from all other nations. Because of this exclusivity, the sages conclude that the teachings of the Torah should not be shared with other nations [תורה תמימה].

The nations of the world remain distant from God's laws, a reality that commentators explain from several different angles. On one hand, these nations do not act with honesty or recognize the true value of justice [מאירי]. Furthermore, because they did not receive even the most basic, rational moral laws directly from God, they are left to be governed merely by the laws of nature and the cosmos [מלבי״ם]. Another perspective suggests a more deliberate separation: God intentionally hid His laws from the other nations, presenting them only with commandments He knew they would ultimately reject [אלשיך].

Just as the psalm began, it concludes with a call to praise God [אבן עזרא]. This praise serves as a reminder of the Israelites' duty to express gratitude for the exclusive heritage of the Torah and its laws [מאירי, מצודת דוד]. The specific name of God used in this final call to praise carries a deeper meaning, pointing to the destiny of the Israelites in two realms: this current world, where they are granted the privilege of fulfilling the commandments, and the world to come, where they will receive their reward [אלשיך].
