Psalms 117
What Happens in This Chapter
This is the shortest chapter in the whole Bible. It calls every nation and every group of people to praise God. The reason given is that God's love for us is great, and he always keeps his promises.
Plain reading written for kids. Short sentences, everyday words, one idea at a time.
O Praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
1Praise the LORD, all you nations! Praise him, all you peoples!
2For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
2God's love for us is very great. And the LORD keeps his promises forever. Praise the LORD!
"The truth of the LORD endureth" means God stays true to his word. It is about God keeping promises, not about facts being correct.
