Verses 7-9
"Families" is literally "tribes." The Israelites invited all the Gentile groups to honor the true God. They invited them to bring offerings of worship to Him at the temple. There was a "court of the Gentiles" where non-Jews could worship Him. Contrast this attitude toward the Gentiles with that of Jonah or the Pharisees in Jesus’ day. The psalmist invited non-Jews to submit to Yahweh and become His worshippers. Many did become proselytes over the years.
"Praise takes the form of concrete expressions of submission to Yahweh." [Note: Ibid., p. 622.]
