Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

to make known to men
This phrase emphasizes the importance of declaring God's works to all humanity. The act of making known suggests a deliberate and active effort to communicate. In biblical context, this aligns with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20), where Jesus instructs His followers to spread the gospel to all nations. Historically, the Israelites were chosen to be a light to the Gentiles (Isaiah 49:6), tasked with revealing God's character and deeds to the world. This phrase underscores the responsibility of believers to share their faith and testify to God's power and goodness.

Your mighty acts
The mighty acts refer to the powerful deeds and miracles performed by God throughout history. In the Old Testament, these include the creation of the world, the deliverance of Israel from Egypt, and the numerous victories in battles. These acts demonstrate God's sovereignty and power over creation and history. In the New Testament, the ultimate mighty act is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which signifies victory over sin and death. This phrase invites reflection on God's intervention in both personal and communal history, encouraging believers to trust in His continued power and presence.

and the glorious splendor of Your kingdom
The kingdom of God is a central theme in Scripture, representing God's rule and reign over all creation. The glorious splendor suggests beauty, majesty, and divine perfection. In the historical context of Israel, the kingdom was often associated with the Davidic monarchy, which foreshadowed the eternal kingdom established through Christ. Jesus frequently spoke of the kingdom of God, describing it as both a present reality and a future hope (Luke 17:20-21, Revelation 21:1-4). This phrase calls believers to recognize and proclaim the beauty and majesty of God's kingdom, which is characterized by righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17).

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

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

Pulpit Commentary

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).
