O Lord, our Sovereign Lord, How Excellent is Your Name in all the earth !
He returns once more to praise when he has finished the recital of the loving kindnesses which He (God) shows towards man, and the power He has given him over all; and because, though he is small and of no account in comparison with the great creatures on high, he is their equal in understanding. (And so) he returns to praise and says, O Lord, our Sovereign Lord, etc.

ʾadoonoy ʾadoneynu
This psalm sees only the Jewish tribe of the family of man as accepting God as the “Lord and Master” of life. Eventually, however, God, Whose existence is reaffirmed by the Divine writing upon the starry skies, will be given praise all over the earth. When man will worship God as the master of all his life — an existence dedicated to the service of the Lord, he will come to see his own powers and limitations each in their true perspective. This new understanding on his part will result in the disappearance from the earth of that selfishness, which is the root of all social evils and knows and protects only the interests of its own ego. This will be the beginning of the era when brotherly love and a way of life in the service of God, shall come to prevail on earth — a goal which (as indicated in the title verse) will be attained only after many fateful periods of trial, of “wine pressings”, shall have been overcome.
