Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples.  For 
great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD 
endures forever.  Praise the LORD.
--Psalm 117 (NIV)

This is the shortest Psalm in the Bible, in fact, it is technically the shortest chapter in the Bible, but what a clarion call. The writer is commanding everyone—all nations and all peoples–to praise the Lord. Not to praise their Lord or their leaders, but to praise THE LORD. And what reason does the writer give for commanding this? The Lord’s love and faithfulness are great and everlasting. This means that no matter how many times we fail, stumble or fall, the Lord always was and always will be there for us. The shortest Psalm carries quite a punch. We would do well as a nation and a peoples to heed its call.
