Psalm 117 is the last of series of 11 (107 - 117) which is considered to form a consistent whole (the First Group of Eleven). It is unusually short, most probably because the kabbalistics at work in the group of 11 required only a limited number of words. The Hebrew text contains only 15 words.

General information

Psalm 117 is the last of series of 11 (107 - 117) which is considered to form a consistent whole (the First Group of Eleven). It is unusually short, most probably because the kabbalistics at work in the group of 11 required only a limited number of words. The Hebrew text contains only 15 words.

The setting by Georg Philipp Telemann substitutes word 'Jehovam' for 'Dominum'

O all ye nations of the world,
Praise ye the Lord always;

Set forth his noble praise:

His truth doth not decay;
Wherefore praise ye the Lord our God,
Praise ye the Lord alway.

Metrical Paraphrases (Isaac Watts)

English.png English text

VERSION 1. (C. M.)
O all ye nations, praise the Lord,
Each with a different tongue;
In every language learn his word,
And let his name be sung.

His mercy reigns through every land;
Proclaim his grace abroad;
For ever firm his truth shall stand
Praise ye the faithful God.

 


VERSION 2. (L. M.)
From all that dwell below the skies
Let the Creator's praise arise;
Let the Redeemer's name be sung
Through every land, by every tongue.

Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord,
Eternal truth attends Thy word;
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

 


VERSION 3. (S. M.)
Thy name, Almighty Lord,
Shall sound through distant lands;
Great is thy grace, and sure thy word;
Thy truth for ever stands.

Far be thine honor spread,
And long thy praise endure,
Till morning light and evening shade
Shall be exchanged no more.
