Gill's Notes on the Bible
That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah,.... Or, "that thou, thy name alone is Jehovah" p, a self-existent Being, the Being of beings, the everlasting I AM, the immutable God; for this name is expressive of the being, eternity, and unchangeableness of God, who is, and was, and is to come, invariably the same, Revelation 1:4 which is to be understood not to the exclusion of the Son or Spirit, who are with the Father the one Jehovah, Deuteronomy 6:4, and to whom this name is given; see Exodus 17:6, compared with 1 Corinthians 10:9 Isaiah 6:8 compared with Acts 28:25, but to the exclusion of all nominal and fictitious deities, the gods of the Heathens; and the being and perfections of God are known by the judgments he executes, Psalms 9:16,
art the most High over all the earth; or,
and that thou art, c. q, being the Maker and the Possessor of it, and the sovereign Lord of its inhabitants, doing in it what seems good in his sight see Genesis 14:22, for the accents require two propositions in the text: the Heathens r give the title of most high to their supreme deity: the Targum is,
"over all the inhabitants of the earth.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
That men may know - That all people may be impressed with the belief that thou art the true and only God. This was the design and aim of the prayer in the psalm. It was that there might be such a manifestation of the power of God; that it might be so evident that the events which had occurred could be traced to no other source than God himself, that all people might be led to honor him.
That thou whose name alone is Jehovah - To whom alone this name belongs; to whom alone it can be properly ascribed. This was the special name by which God chose to be known. Exodus 6:3. Compare the notes at Isaiah 42:8. On the word Jehovah - יהוה Yahweh - see the notes at Psalms 68:4. It is found in combination, in Genesis 22:14; Exodus 17:15; Judges 6:24; Ezekiel 48:35; Jeremiah 23:6; Jeremiah 33:16.
Art the Most High over all the earth - Thou art the Supreme God, ruling over all people. Thy dominion is so absolute over nations, even when combined together, and thy power is so complete in foiling their plans, and disconcerting their purposes, that it is clear that thou dost reign over them. He that could break up such a combination - he that could rescue his people from such an allied force - must have all power over the nations - must be the true God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 83:18. That men may know — That they may acknowledge, and be converted to thee. Here is no malice; all is self-defence.
ANALYSIS OF THE EIGHTY-THIRD PSALM
This Psalm divides itself into four parts: -
I. A short ejaculation, Psalms 83:1.
II. A complaint against God's enemies, which is the reason of this prayer, Psalms 83:2-10.
III. A fearful imprecation against them, Psalms 83:12-17.
IV. The charitable ends proposed, Psalms 83:18.
I. The ejaculation or prayer: "Keep not thou silence - be not still." Thy enemies are loud in their threatenings, and active in their endeavours, to destroy thy people and thy worship: "Hold not thy peace!"
II. He complains - These are enemies, 1. To thy people, Psalms 83:2. 2. To God himself, Psalms 83:5. Then he describes them, Psalms 83:6-8.
1. They were banditti - spoilers: They "make a tumult," Psalms 83:2.
2. Proud and arrogant: "They have lifted up the head," Psalms 83:2.
3. They were subtle and crafty: "They have taken crafty counsel," Psalms 83:3.
4. They carried their cunning counsel into acts of aggression: "Come, and let us cut them off," c., Psalms 83:4.
5. They were conspirators, - 1. Against God. 2. Against his people. All the world against God and his Church! Not an uncommon case.
6. He gives us a catalogue of these conspirators, Psalms 83:6-8: Edom, &c.
III. He prays to God against them. In which there are four particulars: 1. Their fall and ruin. 2. Their persecution. 3. Their terror. 4. Their disgrace.
These he illustrates by five similitudes: 1. Of a wheel that, running on, crushes all under it successively. 2. Of stubble or chaff, easily driven away by the wind, Psalms 83:13. 3. Of a wood or forest in a state of general conflagration, Psalms 83:14. 4. Of a flame that even consumes the mountains, Psalms 83:14.
Their fall and ruin he wished to be -
1. Speedy and perpetual: "Do unto them as unto the Midianites," &c., Psalms 83:9-13.
2. Sudden and violent: "As fire," Psalms 83:13.
3. Terrible and shameful: "Fill their faces with shame," Psalms 83:15-16.
There are here three particulars of their punishment: 1. Flight. 2. Terror. 3. Shame and ignominy.
IV. The charitable ends proposed. These were two: -
1. That they might seek after God, be converted to him, Psalms 83:16.
2. That they might know him to be Jehovah, the only true God, that they might be saved from all idolatry, Psalms 83:18.
The spirit of this prayer is, 1. If they will not seek thee, and be converted, let them be confounded in their attempts against thy people. 2. If they will not acknowledge thee, let them be utterly routed and overthrown: "Let them be put to shame, and perish!"
