SEV Biblia, Chapter 68:31

Vendrán príncipes de Egipto; Etiopía apresurará sus manos a Dios.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 67:31

Verse 31. AEthiopta shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. - This verse had its literal fulfillment under Solomon, when Egypt formed an alliance with that king by his marriage with Pharaoh's daughter; and when the queen of Sheba came to Jerusalem to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But as this may be a prophetic declaration of the spread of Christianity, it was literally fulfilled after the resurrection of our Lord. There were Egyptians at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, who, St. Hilary tells us, on their return to their own country proclaimed what they had seen, and became in that country the ambassadors of Christ. The Ethiopian eunuch was one of the first among the Gentiles who received the Gospel. Thus princes or chief men came out of Egypt, and Ethiopia stretched out her hands to God. The words themselves refer to the sending ambassadors, and making alliances. The Hebrew is very emphatic: µyhlal wydy Åyrt wk cush tarits yadiav lelohim; Cush will cause her hands to run out to God. She will, with great alacrity and delight, surrender her power and influence unto God. The Chaldee paraphrases well: "The sons of Cush will run, that they may spread out their hands in prayer before God."

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 32-35 - God is to be admired and adored with reverence and godly fear, by all that attend in his holy places. The God of Israel gives strength an power unto his people. Through Christ strengthening us we can do all things, not otherwise; therefore he must have the glory of all we do with our humble thanks for enabling us to do it, and for accepting the work of his hands in us __________________________________________________________________
