The shortest chapter in the Bible, and one of the widest: 'O praise Jehovah, all ye nations; laud him, all ye peoples. For his lovingkindness is great toward us; and the truth of Jehovah endureth for ever. Praise ye Jehovah.' Two verses that summon every Gentile on earth to the praise of Israel's God: Paul quotes it in Romans 15:11 as proof the nations were always in view.
Drawn from Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, Commentary Critical and Explanatory, Matthew Henry, Complete Commentary, John Wesley, Notes on the Old Testament and John Calvin, Commentaries.
