Psalms117:2
2 For his merciful kindness is great towards us : and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
Either, 1. towards us Jews, to whom he hath given those peculiar priviledges which he hath denied to all other nations. But this may seem an improper argument to move the Gentiles to praise God for his mercies to others from which they were excluded. Or, 2. towards all of us, all the children of Abraham, whether carnal or spiritual, who were to be incorporated together, and made one body and one sold by and under the Messias, Iob. 10. 16. Eph. 2. 14. which mystery seems to be insinuated by this manner of expression.
