David
Psalm 33:8BSB·traditional attribution

Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the people of the world revere Him.

John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

PSALM 33. David, or whoever was the author of this psalm, in order to excite believers to praise God, founds his argument upon the general providence of God, by which he sustains, protects, and governs the whole world. Afterwards he celebrates God’s paternal kindness towards his chosen people, showing at the same time how necessary it is that the godly should be cherished by his special care. Psalm 33:1-4 1.

C.H. Spurgeon Reformed Baptist @princeofpreachers

Let all the earth fear the Lord. Not only Jews, but Gentiles. The psalmist was not a man blinded by national prejudice, he did not desire to restrict the worship of Jehovah to the seed of Abraham. He looks for homage even to far off nations. If they are not well enough instructed to be able to praise, at least let them fear.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Four things the psalmist expresses in these verses: I. The great desire he had that God might be praised. He did not think he did it so well himself, but that he wished others also might be employed in this work; the more the better, in this concert: it is the more like heaven. 1.
