ג) סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם כְּבוֹדוֹ בְּכָל הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאוֹתָיו:
Tell of His glory among the nations, among all peoples His wonders.
Rav Hirsch explains that with the unfolding of human power and force is demonstrated in the relationships of nation to nation, as closed entities opposing one another, you shall have the courage to stand up and proclaim the wondrous words of Hashem that reveal His greatness and might.
The words בכל העמים also refers to in the midst of human social relationships, where individual personalities interact, wherever it may be, you shall also not lack the courage to proclaim Hashem’s name.
In our society we all too often say phrases like ‘im yirtzeh Hashem’ and ‘Baruch Hashem’, ‘please G-d’ or ‘G-d willing’. It is all too easy to say these words without thinking and focussing on their meaning, but perhaps once in a while we can do so, and truly bring Hashem into the conversation.
