¹ Be glad in the Lord, O doers of righteousness; for praise is beautiful for the upright. ² Give praise to the Lord on the corded instrument; make melody to him with instruments of music. ³ Make a new song to him; playing expertly with a loud noise. ⁴ For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his works are certain. ⁵ His delight is in righteousness and wisdom; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord. ⁶ By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the army of heaven by the breath of his mouth. ⁷ He makes the waters of the sea come together in a mass; he keeps the deep seas in store-houses. ⁸ Let the earth be full of the fear of the Lord; let all the people of the world be in holy fear of him. ⁹ For he gave the word, and it was done; by his order it was fixed for ever. ¹⁰ The Lord undoes the designs of the nations; he makes the thoughts of the peoples without effect.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Let all the earth fear the Lord,.... That is, all the men that dwell upon the face of the earth. As it follows,

let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him; which fear and awe design a reverence of the divine Majesty, whose divine perfections are so manifest in the works of creation; and a carefulness not to offend him, into whose hands it must be a fearful thing to fall; and the whole worship of him, which is often in Scripture expressed by the fear of him: and this is to be understood either as what is the duty of all men; for to "fear God, and keep his commandments, is the whole duty of man", Ecclesiastes 12:13; and which is incumbent on all men, in consideration of his being the Creator of them; and the obligation to it is yet more increased through his providential care of them and goodness to them; and still more should be found in them, seeing he will be the Judge of them, and has a despotic and uncontrollable power over them; and what is it that he cannot do, who has done all this before related? though none can fear him aright but such who have the grace of fear put into their hearts by the Spirit of God: or else this may be prophetically said, as what will be in the latter day, when not only the Jews shall fear the Lord and his goodness, Hosea 3:5, but when the fulness of the Gentiles being brought into the church, it shall fear and be enlarged; yea, all nations shall fear the Lord and glorify his name, and come and worship before him, Isaiah 60:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Let all the earth - All the inhabitants of the earth.

Fear the Lord - Worship and adore a Being of so great power. See the notes at Psalms 5:7.

Let all the inhabitants of the world - The power displayed in the works of creation appeals to all alike.

Stand in awe of him - Reverence or adore him. The expression is equivalent to “worship,” fear or reverence entering essentially into the idea of worship.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 33:8. Let all the earth fear the Lord — He who has thus bound, can unloose; he who has created, can destroy. He has promised life and prosperity only to the godly; let the ungodly stand in awe of him.
