3 I will give you praise, O Lord, among the peoples; I will make melody to you among the nations.
I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.
All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.
Let all the nations give praise to the Lord: let all the people give him praise.
All the kings of the earth will give you praise, O Lord, when the words of your mouth come to their ears. They will make songs about the ways of the Lord; for great is the glory of the Lord.

Commentary on Psalms 108 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 108
This psalm begins with praise and concludes with prayer, and faith is at work in both.
The former part it taken out of Ps. 57:7, etc., the latter out of Ps. 60:5, etc., and both with very little variation, to teach us that we may in prayer use the same words that we have formerly used, provided it be with new affections. It intimates likewise that it is not only allowable, but sometimes convenient, to gather some verses out of one psalm and some out of another, and to put them together, to be sung to the glory of God. In singing this psalm we must give glory to God and take comfort to ourselves.
A song or psalm of David.
