Overview & Insights
"Praise the LORD, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples!" (Psalm 117:1)
The shortest psalm in the Psalter is a one-line summons for every nation on earth to praise God for his steadfast love and faithfulness. It answers Solomon's prayer for the foreigner and anticipates the Gentile centurion's faith in the Gospel.
