Next Part PSALM 118
Back to Writings on Bible Books
Restored Israel calls upon the nations to praise the Lord.
(Ps 117:1) Israel established in Jerusalem, as described in the end of the previous psalm now calls upon all nations and peoples to praise the Lord.
(Ps 117:2) They can thus call upon others to praise the Lord, because of what they have experienced themselves — “His merciful kindness is great toward us.” They at last own they have come into blessing on the ground of mercy (cp. Rom. 11: 31-32). Nevertheless, they recognize it is not mercy at the expense of truth. God has shown mercy but maintained truth. The truth has not been set aside; it endures for ever. “Praise ye the Lord.”
