Trapp's Complete Commentary · Psalms Kapitel 117

O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

O praise the Lord, all ye nations — viz. For Christ, that gift, John 4:10 , that benefit, 1 Timothy 6:2 , that desire of all nations, Haggai 2:7 , that good tidings of great joy to all people, Luke 2:10 , who are by him received into the glory of God, Romans 15:7 ; Romans 15:11 , where the apostle thus applieth this Scripture; and the Jewish doctors confess that this short and sweet psalm is to be understood de beneficiis Messiae, of Christ and his benefits (Kimchi).

Praise him, all ye people — Laudationibus commendate emn, so Tremellius rendereth it; praise him with a force, and, as it were, with a violence, with all your might; ye cannot possibly overdo.
