Ezekiel 17-19, Psalm 116

Praise the LORD, all you nations;
   extol him, all you peoples.
For great is his love toward us,
   and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.
Praise the LORD. (Psalm 117)

This is the shortest psalm in the Bible. It echoes with praise for God: Praise... extol... Praise! It calls not only to Hebrew people, with whom the psalms originate, but also to all people, all nations, with good reasons for giving praise to God, namely, God’s love, God’s faithfulness, and God’s “never-ending-ness.”

As Psalm 117 invites praises from the heart of the Bible, so let the Spirit of God invite praises from our hearts, reader!
