Psalm 117

Psalm 117 
English Standard Version (ESV)

  Short.  Simple.
  Sometimes, this is what our prayers should look like--short offerings of praise, easy to memorize, repeat and carry with us throughout the day.  Praise God!  His love and faithfulness are great, and will never end.
  Sometimes, our prayers are longer, more complicated, and perhaps focused on other themes.
  There is room for both.  We need the short prayers we can memorize that will turn us back to God throughout the day just as we need the longer times when we pour out our hearts to God, offering gratitude, repentance and praise.

  May our lives be filled with robust praise offerings to God
