Old Testament
Psalms 117
Overview
Psalm 117 is the shortest psalm and the shortest chapter in the Bible, a two-verse hymn calling all nations and peoples to praise the LORD. Its reason for praise is concise and complete: great is His steadfast love toward us, and His faithfulness endures forever. In a handful of words it gathers the whole world into worship of Israel's God.
1O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
