Exegesis
v. 2 - The context of "nations" implies a people who will fear the second coming of the Lord. When Jehovah appears for them there will be "the melting fire burneth" causing "the waters to boil." They are also noted as the Lord's adversaries. Hence, the nations are the Gentile, heathen nations, or those who remain in their iniquities.
