Verse 2
2. That thy way may be known Literally, for the knowing thy way. The telic use of the preposition denotes the end or object for which the blessing (Psalms 67:1) is invoked upon the Church, namely, to the end that the ways of God may be made known in the earth. Thus, in all ages, through his Church, the world is to learn his ways with men.
Thy way Thy method, particularly thy plan of grace. “Way,” here, is the parallel word to salvation in the next line of the verse.
Saving health Hebrew, simply, salvation.
“Health” has nothing to answer to it in the original. The fuller form occurs Psalms 28:8, where “saving strength,” is literally strength of salvations.
All nations All Gentile nations. The word usually bears this sense.
