Psalm 117

 1Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!

Laud Him, all you peoples!

2For His merciful kindness is great toward us,

And the truth of the Lord endures forever.

Praise the Lord!

Commentary

This Psalm is universal, calling all peoples, all nations to praise the Lord! Why, because all peoples, all nations can now share in God’s promises through Christ. Therefore, the Apostle Paul cites the first verse in Rom. 15:11, reminding us all that in the Lord Jesus Christ we have everlasting life (John 3:16). Which as the Psalm reveals is solely based upon His merciful kindness towards us; for it is by His grace and His truth that we are saved (John 1:17). Therefore by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ we have been brought into an everlasting relationship and covenant with God Himself, Praise the Lord!
