How is Psalm 117 valuable? What impact does this two verse psalm have upon our lives today? “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16,17 We can tend to overlook a simple two verse psalm thinking that it is not as valuable as some of the psalms that have great length or authors of great renown.
