The continuation—'Let them give glory to Yahweh, and declare his praise in the coastlands'—repeats the command to worldwide witness and worship. The insistence on 'glory' and 'praise' as the appropriate response to God's work emphasizes that external vindication must translate into internal recognition and grateful response. The specific mention of 'coastlands' (often representing distant, foreign regions) reinforces the universality of the divine action. This verse completes the hymnic section by establishing that God's restoration work commands the worship of all creation.
