Psa 117:1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
Ver. 1. **O praise the Lord, all ye nations** ] viz. For Christ, that gift, [John 4:10](../../../kjv/john/4/10) , that benefit, [1 Timothy 6:2](../../../kjv/1-timothy/6/2) , that desire of all nations, [Haggai 2:7](../../../kjv/haggai/2/7) , that good tidings of great joy to all people, [Luke 2:10](../../../kjv/luke/2/10) , who are by him received into the glory of God, [Romans 15:7](../../../kjv/romans/15/7) ; [Romans 15:11](../../../kjv/romans/15/11) , where the apostle thus applieth this Scripture; and the Jewish doctors confess that this short and sweet psalm is to be understood *de beneficiis Messiae,* of Christ and his benefits (Kimchi).
****
**Praise him, all ye people** ] *Laudationibus commendate emn,* so Tremellius rendereth it; praise him with a force, and, as it were, with a violence, with all your might; ye cannot possibly overdo.

Psa 117:2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
Ver. 2. **For his merciful kindness is great** ] *Invaluit,* hath prevailed over us, breaking through all obstacles and impediments, whether within us or without us, eating its way through all rocks and remoras; and though we would put it back, yet it will overcome us; his grace is irresistible, neither can it ever be taken away.
****
**And the truth of the Lord** ] As his mercy alone moved him to make promise, so his truth bindeth him to perform the same. See [2 Samuel 7:18](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/18) ; [2 Samuel 7:21](../../../kjv/2-samuel/7/21) . The word of promise bindeth God, and, therefore, it may seem to be stronger than God. If his merciful kindness prevail over us, as [Psalms 117:1](../../../kjv/psalms/117/1) , his truth prevaileth over him. The Jewish doctors observe that the word *Emeth,* here used for truth, consisteth of *Aleph,* the first letter of the alphabet; *Mem,* the middlemost letter thereof; and *Tau,* the last: to show that as God is *Alpha* and *Omega,* so the truth of God is the all in all of our comfort. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ; this is the sum of all the good news in the world.
