Praise the Lord, all you nations!
Extol Him, all you peoples!
For great is His steadfast love toward us
and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Praise the Lord! –Psalm 117:1-2
The Joy of Living in Zion
Praise the Lord all you nations!
Extol Him, all you peoples! (Psalm 117:1)
On the Holy mount stands the city He founded;
the Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Glorious things are spoken of you,
O City of God!
Among those who know Me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
Philista too and Tyre, with Ethiopia – ‘This one was born there,” they say.
Of Zion it shall be said,
‘This one and that one were born in it.”
For the Most High Himself will establish it.
Praise the Lord all you nations!
Extol Him, all you peoples! (Psalm 117:1)
The Lord records, as He registers the peoples,
‘This one was born there.’
Singers and dancers alike say,
‘All my springs (innards are concerned) are in you.’ –Psalm 87:1-7
Praise the Lord all you nations!
Extol Him, all you peoples! (Psalm 117:1)
