All Nations Praise the Lord

Synopsis Psalms 115:9-117:2 2/9/2022 

The psalmist makes a distinction between God and the gods of other nations. God is in heaven. In this way, he points out that their idols are nothing more than statues made from silver and gold. They have no power.  

Fittingly, the psalms then reflect on God’s power to save from deadly situations and disease.  

Finally, because of God’s greatness, the psalmist calls on all nations to praise God alone.  

All Nations Praise the Lord 

The truth about creation is that God is the Creator. The truth about sin is that God is our Savior. And so, the most righteous thing we can do is acknowledge the truth and praise our Creator and our Savior.  

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, everything in the universe, cry out: “To the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor, glory and might, forever and ever.” Rev 5:13
