Commentary Notes

v1

Psalms 117:1

Ps 117:1, 2. This may be regarded as a doxology, suitable to be appended to any Psalm of similar character, and prophetical of the prevalence of God's grace in the world, in which aspect Paul quotes it (Ro 15:11; compare Ps 47:2; 66:8).

v2

Psalms 117:2

2. is great toward us —literally, "prevailed over" or "protected us."
