Psalm 117Reflection:
How does this psalm piece interpret the psalm?
“Praise the Lord, All Nations” is from the children’s project “Songs of Joy.” It was written as a children’s singalong or choir anthem which could include a second part. It is now being used in Sunday morning worship, including as a gradual during Epiphany. It is a way to teach children a psalm and to give a prayer of praise.
Liturgical Suggestions:
In children’s ministry (Sunday school, school, choir) or in Sunday morning worship. Suitable for teaching a large group a psalm or for singing an easy two-part harmony or a round (for singing around a campfire, e.g.).
