Short and Sweet – Psalm 117
Psalm 117
1 Praise the Lord, all nations!
Extol him, all peoples!
2 For great is his steadfast love toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord!
NOTE: Today’s commentary is by Dr. Kevin Watson, who is coming to Tulsa to become the Director of Academic Growth and Formation at the Tulsa Extension Site for Asbury Theological Seminary, as well as joining our staff at Asbury Church as Scholar-in-Residence. I wrote a post announcing and explaining this move.-Andrew
Psalm 117 is the shortest of all the psalms.
Its message is short and sweet. With an economy of words, this psalm articulates the heart of the good news of the gospel:
Praise the Lord, all nations!
Extol him, all peoples!
For great is his steadfast love towards us,
And the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord!
God’s love for us is steadfast. He is for us! He is faithful.
Always.
