In Praise of the Lord

1

Psalm 117:1

Praise the Lord, all nations!

Praise him, all peoples!

2 His love for us is strong,

and his faithfulness is eternal.

Praise the Lord!

1 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
