Psalms 117:2 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Toward us; either,

1. Towards us Jews, to whom he hath given those peculiar privileges which he hath denied to all other nations. But this may seem an improper argument to move the Gentiles to praise God for his mercies to others from which they were excluded. Or,

2. Towards all of us, all the children of Abraham, whether carnal or spiritual, who were to be incorporated together, and made one body and one fold by and under the Messias, 1 Thessalonians 10:16 Ephesians 2:14, which mystery seems to be insinuated by this manner of expression.

Psalms 117:2

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