1¡Alaben al Señor todas las naciones! ¡Todo el mundo en todas partes, alaben su gran nombre!
2Porque su gran amor por nosotros está sobre todas las cosas; su fidelidad es eterna. ¡Alaben al Señor!

Summary
The shortest chapter in the entire Bible: just two verses summoning all nations to praise the Lord for his great kindness and everlasting truth.
Explanation
Despite being the shortest chapter in the whole Bible, this tiny psalm has a surprisingly universal reach, explicitly calling on 'all ye nations' and 'all ye people' — not just Israel — to praise God. Paul quotes this verse in Romans 15:11 precisely to argue that the gospel is meant for Jews and Gentiles alike. The application today is that no matter how small an act of praise may be, it can carry enormous meaning and reach.
