Psalms 117:2 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

The Universal Kingdom of Messiah.

The shortest hymn in the Psalter, portraying, in a few words, the Church of God of all times in its relation to Jehovah, the God of salvation. The truth expressed in this psalm, that men from all nations would yet worship Jehovah, as the God who has revealed Himself in the fullness of His redemption for all mankind, is unfolded by Paul, Romans 15:11.

Psalms 117:1-2

1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
