to make known
This phrase emphasizes the active role of believers in communicating God's greatness. The Hebrew root for "make known" is "yada," which implies a deep, intimate knowledge. This suggests that believers are not merely to inform others about God but to share a profound understanding and personal experience of His nature and works. Historically, this aligns with the Jewish tradition of oral storytelling, where the recounting of God's deeds was a communal and relational activity, ensuring that His mighty acts were passed down through generations.

to the sons of men
This phrase indicates the universal scope of the message. "Sons of men" is a Hebrew idiom for humanity, emphasizing that the knowledge of God's kingdom is not limited to a specific group but is intended for all people. This reflects the inclusive nature of God's covenant, which, while initially with Israel, is ultimately for all nations. In a historical context, this can be seen in the missionary activities of the early church, which sought to spread the Gospel beyond Jewish communities to the Gentiles, fulfilling the Great Commission.

Your mighty acts
The phrase "mighty acts" refers to the powerful deeds of God, often associated with His deliverance and protection of His people. The Hebrew word "geburah" conveys strength and might, often used in the context of God's intervention in history. Scripturally, this includes events like the Exodus, where God's power was displayed in freeing the Israelites from Egypt. For believers, recounting these acts serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and faithfulness, encouraging trust and reliance on Him in all circumstances. This aligns with the conservative Christian perspective that emphasizes the authority and reliability of Scripture as a record of God's mighty works throughout history.

(12) To make.--Or, by making known.

Verse 12. - To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts. It is a part of the duty of "saints" (ver. 10) to make known as widely as possible - if possible, to all men - the "mighty acts" and glory of God; primarily, for God's glory; and secondarily, to bring about their conversion to God's service. And the glorious majesty of his kingdom (comp. vers. 5, 11).
