Psalm 117

This psalm seems completely out of place in a Jewish song book. It is a call to all the nations to gather around Israel's God and offer him praise. But on this side of the cross the tone fits perfectly with God's offer of eternal grace to all peoples of the earth. No one is forbidden anymore. Everyone is eligible to walk in God's grace through a life of faith. All people are invited to call out to the God most high in praise of who he is.
