117:1, 2 Not only is Psalm 117 the shortest chapter in the Bible, it is also the middle chapter. Paul quotes from this psalm in Romans 15:11 to show that God’s salvation is for all people, not just the Jews.
117:1, 2 Have you ever said, “I can’t think of anything God has done for me. How can I praise him?” This psalm gives two reasons for praising God: his merciful kindness toward us and his truth that endures forever. If he did nothing else for us, he would still be worthy of our highest praise.
