Gill's Exposition on Psalms 108:3
[See comments on Psalms 57:9].
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 108:3
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 108:3
Verse 3. Among the people] The Jews. Among the nations.] The Gentiles. Wherever this Psalm is sung or read, either among Jews or Gentiles, David may be said to sing praise to God.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 108:3
3. I will give thanks unto thee, Jehovah, among the peoples: And I will make melody unto thee among the nations. Jehovah (A.V. Lord) takes the place of Adônai (A.V. Lord) of the ‘Elohistic’ Psalms 57:9. Again the old words would have special significance for the returned Israelites. Jehovah had wrought salvation for them “in the sight of the nations” (Psalms 98:2-3), and therefore they were to publish His praise among them (Psalms 96:3; Psalms 105:1).
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 108:3
I will praise thee, O Lord ... - This is taken from Psalms 57:9. The only change is the substitution here of the name יהוה Yahweh for אדני 'Adonāy. Why that change was made is unknown.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 108:3
3. Lord—Jehovah; in Psalms 57:9, àãðé, (Adonah,) Lord.
