That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD,You could call this a psalm of smiting. Asaph has just been bemoaning how all the neighboring nations are against Israel, and he's asking for God to punish them appropriately. In fact, the previous verse ended with him wishing that God would kill them all in dishonor.
Are the Most high over all the earth.
I suppose this is the Old Testament equivalent of "kill them all, and let God sort them out." It's hard for dead people to realize their faults and change, but they do know who is in control then. As Christians, this is not something we should be wishing for; instead, we need to be trying to reach them now, before it's too late.
