Rom 15:9. Διὰ-ἔθνεσι-ψαλῶ) Psa 18:50, LXX., διὰ-ἔθνεσι, Κύριε-ψαλῶ.-ἐξομολογήσομαι, I will confess) Paul says that the Gentiles do that, which Christ declares in the Psalm, that He will do; in fact, Christ is doing this among [or rather, in the person of] the Gentiles, Heb 2:12, where Paul quotes Psalms 22, as here Psalms 18 is quoted. In Psalms 22. Christ announces the name of the Lord to His brethren; in Psalms 18. He confesses to the Lord among [or in the person of] the Gentiles, and the Gentiles confess to Him in [the person of] Christ. Afterwards in Psalms 117 the Jews invite all tribes and all nations; לאם signifies a multitude, and עם a political community.-ψαλῶ, I will sing) The Gentiles sing and praise, because they have obtained mercy, Heb. אזמרה, using the organ.
