Praise Him for All His Benefits
**[Psalms 116:12-19](../../../kjv/psalms/116/12-19)** **; [Psalms 117:1-2](../../../kjv/psalms/117/1-2)**
****
The psalmist dwells joyfully on his enslavement to God, because in and through it he had found perfect liberty. *Thou hast loosed my bonds* . They who become enslaved to Christ are set free from all other restraints. See [John 8:31-36](../../../kjv/john/8/31-36) . Do not forget to *pay* your vows! In trouble we make promises, which, when the trouble has passed, we find it convenient to forget. See [Genesis 40:23](../../../kjv/genesis/40/23) .
[Psalms 117:1-2](../../../kjv/psalms/117/1-2) is the shortest chapter in the Bible and its center; but, small as it is, it breathes a world-wide spirit and reaches out to all nations. “It is a dewdrop reflecting the universe.” The Apostle quotes it in [Romans 15:11](../../../kjv/romans/15/11) , as foretelling the call of the Gentiles. Here, as in [Isaiah 11:10](../../../kjv/isaiah/11/10) and elsewhere, the spirit of the singer overleaps all national exclusiveness and comprehends *all* people and *all* time.
Let us learn to exercise the spirit of praise in our daily sphere. Surely we also can say that God’s loving-kindness has been, and is, *mighty over us* . “Where sin abounded grace did much more abound.” The permanence of this love is guaranteed by God’s faithfulness; for his truth is his troth. The shortest prayer of praise should find room for Hallelujah! See [Revelation 19:4](../../../kjv/revelation/19/4) .
