That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah,.... Or, "that thou, thy name alone is Jehovah" , a self-existent Being, the Being of beings, the everlasting I AM, the immutable God; for this name is expressive of the being, eternity, and unchangeableness of God, who is, and was, and is to come, invariably the same, Re 1:4 which is to be understood not to the exclusion of the Son or Spirit, who are with the Father the one Jehovah, De 6:4, and to whom this name is given; see Ex 17:6, compared with 1Co 10:9 Isa 6:8 compared with Ac 28:25, but to the exclusion of all nominal and fictitious deities, the gods of the Heathens; and the being and perfections of God are known by the judgments he executes, Ps 9:16,art the most High over all the earth; or,and that thou art, &c.
, being the Maker and the Possessor of it, and the sovereign Lord of its inhabitants, doing in it what seems good in his sight; see Ge 14:22, for the accents require two propositions in the text: the Heathens give the title of most high to their supreme deity: the Targum is,"over all the inhabitants of the earth.'
