Verse 2
PSALM 117
2For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
Psa 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 Psa 47:2; 66:8). 2. is great toward us--literally, “prevailed over” or “protected us.”
