Psalm 117

Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles!  Laud Him, all you peoples! For His merciful kindness is great toward us, And the truth of the Lord endures forever.  Praise the Lord! vv.1-2

Read chapter 117
This is the shortest chapter in all the Bible, two verses long.  It is short and sweet.  It was probably used at the beginning of a meeting or to end a meeting or when time was limited.  Yet in two chapters it can say all the fullness of what longest chapter in the Bible can say too (Psalm 119).  It's a psalm of praise from all nations regardless of race, class, ethnicity.  It speaks of so great a blessing of God's mercy and truth.
If you only had two words to say of the Lord, what would those words be?
