Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

Psalms 66:4

Verse Psalms 66:4. All the earth] The whole land shall worship thee. There shall no more an idol be found among the tribes of Israel. This was literally true. After the Babylonish captivity the Israelites never relapsed into idolatry.

Selah.] Remark it: this is a well attested truth.
