Psalms chapter 117
O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalms 117 KJV: The Universal Call to Praise the Lord
Psalms 117 documents the shortest chapter in the Bible, yet it contains a massive command for all nations and 'all people' to praise the Lord. It grounds this universal worship in two pillars: the kindness of God's mercy and the eternal nature of His truth. This tiny psalm serves as a powerful witness that the God of Israel has always intended to be the God of the whole world.
