Psalms 117 - Introduction

A.M. 2964. B.C. 1040.

“This Psalm,” says Bishop Patrick, “like the 110th, seems to be altogether prophetical of the joy that all the world should conceive, at the coming of the Messiah, to give salvation first to the Jews, and then to all other nations, according to his faithful promise. St. Paul applies the first words of it to this purpose, Romans 15:11. And some of the Jews themselves justify this application.”
