יוֹד֣וּךָ יְ֭הוָה כָּל־מַלְכֵי־אָ֑רֶץ כִּ֥י שָׁ֝מְע֗וּ אִמְרֵי־פִֽיךָ׃
Magpapasalamat sa Iyo, O Walang-Hanggan, ang lahat ng hari sa lupa, sapagkat narinig nila ang mga salita ng Iyong bibig.
Akeidat Yitzchak
The Talmud in Kiddushin 31, reports that the great Rabbi Ulla expounded at the entrance of the house of the President concerning the words in Psalm 138,4, "all the kings of the world acknowledge You, since they have heard the words from Your mouth." It does not say "word." When G-d commenced the commandments with the statement "I am the Lord your G-d" etc., the nations of the world said "He is concerned only with His own glory." Once they heard the commandment "honour your father and mother so that you will live long etc," they reconsidered and accepted the validity of the first utterance. Rabba, son of Rabbi Yitzchak says that this also explains the verse in Psalms 119,160, "the beginning of Your word is truth." He asks "are not the end of Your words truth also?" The explanation is that just as the end of Your words are truth, so are the beginning of Your words truth also.
