Psalms 117:1,2 - Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

This psalm, like Psalms 113., is a prophecy of the conversion of the gentiles: so it is cited by St. Paul in Romans 15:11. Some critics regard it as an exordium to the hundred and eighteenth psalm. It is the shortest of all the psalms; and the subject, continually recurring, has often been reviewed. See on Psalms 113.

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.
