oa Missionalia : Southern African Journal of Mission Studies - The missionary significance of Psalm 117 in the Book of Psalms and in the New Testament

Abstract

There is a double missionary call to the praise of God in the Psalms. In some Psalms Israel is urged to proclaim Yahweh's praise among the nations. In others the nations are encouraged to share in Israel's praise of God. Ps. 117 is considered to be one of the latter. Regarding the use of this hymn in the New Testament, two passages are considered and their significance for mission indicated.
