PSALM 117 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm contains a prophecy of the calling of the Gentiles, as appears both from the matter of it, and from Romans 15:11, where it is quoted to that purpose. An exhortation to all nations to praise God for his mercy and truth's sake. Acknowledge the true God, and serve him only, and cast away all your idols.
