About this chapterThe shortest chapter in the Bible, just two verses, calling all nations and all peoples to praise the Lord. The reason given is that his steadfast love toward us is great and that his faithfulness endures forever. Though brief, the psalm points beyond Israel, inviting the whole world to join in worship. Paul quotes it in his letter to the Romans to show that the Gentiles were always meant to glorify God for his mercy. It ends the way it begins, with a simple call to praise the Lord.
