The end of this psalm is for us to consider whether indeed are praising God with our lives. Are we causing others to praise Him too?
Psalm 117
The fifth of the Hallel Psalms
Welcome to the shortest chapter in the Bible. This chapter has been presented as the central chapter in the Bible (Psalm 118 is argued by some to be the center). Paul quotes verse one in Romans 15.11 in his treatise on the gospel being presented to all the world. Being the center chapter, it would seem appropriate that the gospel is here presented to all mankind. Luther, it is believed, is to have said that the entire book of Acts was written because of Psalm 117.
The end of this psalm is for us to consider whether indeed are praising God with our lives. Are we causing others to praise Him too?
