CHAPTER 117

AUTHOR UNKNOWN: PRAISE THE LORD

1O praise the LORD, all you nations: praise Him, all you people. (The Apostle Paul quotes this Verse in Rom. 15:11. This short Song proclaims the beginning of the great Millennial Reign. Israel now invites the nations of the world to unite with her in praising the Messiah, and the reason is set out in the Second Verse.)

2For His merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endures for ever. Praise you the LORD. (The phrase, is great toward, should read has prevailed over. This tells us that the Lord will fulfill to Israel the Promise of the Kingdom and, in His abounding Grace, which will prevail over all their misconduct, He will forgive their sins.)
