Psalm 117
1 Praise the LORD, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples!
2 For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!
(NRSV)

There are times it seems appropriate to indulge in huge piles of words to make a point and other times that a very few words is all that need be used. For this psalmist, in this moment, two verses says it all. When dealing with the subject of God’s love for us, gobs of people have used paragraphs and pages of words to attempt to describe the feeling and the meaning of the concept and reality of that love. All we need right here is the call to praise for the greatness of the love God has for us. Praise the LORD!
