Psalm 117<br />

Praise the Lord, all you nations!<br />

us,<br />

And the Lordʼs faithfulness endures<br />

forever.<br />

1. The covenant Father would comfort His people.<br />

He sends out His heralds to speak to their heart.<br />

They speak words of kindness, of iniquity pardoned,<br />

An end to His anger that marks a new start.<br />

2. The voice of a herald demands preparation:<br />

ʻMake straight in the desert the way of the Lord.<br />

Raise up all the valleys and bring low all the mountains<br />

And smooth the rough places. Make way for our God.ʼ<br />

3. The whole of mankind will see Godʼs revelation.<br />

Each eye will be fixed on the glory of God.<br />

The promise is certain and His truth is accomplished.<br />

The mouth of our Saviour has spoken this word.<br />

4. All men are like grass and their glory is fading.<br />

Like flowʼrs of the meadow they wither and fall.<br />

Godʼs breath blows upon them so their glory will vanish.<br />

His word lasts forever and outlives us all.<br />

5. Get up on the mountains and bring your glad tidings.<br />

Proclaim the evangel. Do not be afraid.<br />

Tell all from the high place that the Saviour is coming.<br />

With power He has conquered. His flock He has saved.<br />

6. He comes, the true Shepherd. He cares for His people.<br />

He scoops up the young lambs, right close to His heart.<br />

All those who are burdened He will lead with great meekness.<br />

He knows what is needed. All that Heʼll impart.<br />
