Commentary on Psalms 117:2

Theological / Devotional

Merciful kindness. Heb. chesed, “divine love” (see Additional Note on Ps. 36).

Is great. Heb. gabar, “to excel.”

Truth. Heb. ’emeth, a word denoting “firmness,” “trustworthiness,” “stability,” “faithfulness,” as well as “truth.” These attributes of God are as eternal as God Himself. In the midst of human instability and insecurity the child of God may rest securely in God’s love.

Praise ye the Lord. The psalm concludes with another “hallelujah.”
