All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.
The psalmist celebrates one deliverance, but means it as proof of God's constant mercy to His people through all ages. His point is comfort: our subjection to enemies has been the furnace proving us as silver, and God's hearing of the faithful proves His acceptance of them alone, not the wicked.

Commenting on Psalm 66:1-20
All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee. All men must even now prostrate themselves before thee, but a time will come when they shall do this cheerfully; to the worship of fear shall be added the singing of love. What a change shall have taken place when singing shall displace sighing, and music shall thrust out misery! They shall sing to thy name.
This call to all lands shows God's worth, declares man's duty to praise Him by creation's law, and foretells the conversion of the Gentiles. We must praise with zeal and openness, hearty and public, not the noise of hypocrites but the joyful noise of those unashamed of their Master.
