תהלים, פרק ס״ז, פסוק ד׳

A future era of universal clarity will unite all the world's nations in a shared expression of gratitude, acknowledging God's justice and kindness. The primary approach among commentators is that this anticipates a time when humanity will witness God's actions firsthand and respond with profound thanks [רד״ק, אבן עזרא]. The underlying motivation for this global awakening involves complementary perspectives. Some explain that the nations will finally understand that God's kindness is not restricted to the people of Israel, but extends to all inhabitants of the earth [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Others suggest that the nations will be moved to gratitude when they observe how God grants fitting rewards to those who believe in Him, proving His absolute fairness [מצודת דוד].

The call for global praise is twofold, reflecting two distinct groups of nations that will arrive at the same recognition of divine justice through different experiences [אלשיך]. The first group consists of nations that have historically harmed Israel. These nations will face strict divine judgment. Yet, even from the depths of their punishment, they will recognize God's righteousness and praise Him for the fairness of His decrees. The second group comprises the remaining nations, those who neither harmed nor actively helped Israel. As they watch God's perfect honesty unfold, seeing that He repays every person and nation exactly according to their actions, they will naturally join the comprehensive, universal gratitude.
