The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 117:1

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

O praise the Lord, all ye nations; or, "all ye Gentiles," as in Romans 15:11. The goim are especially the heathen nations of the earth (comp. Psalms 2:1, Psalms 2:8; Psalms 9:5, Psalms 9:15, Psalms 9:19, Psalms 9:20, etc.

). Praise him; rather, laud him (Revised Version). The verbs in the two clauses are different. All ye people; rather, all ye peoples.
