1Louvai ao SENHOR, todas as nações; celebrai a ele, todos os povos.
2Porque sua bondade prevaleceu sobre nós, e a fidelidade do SENHOR [dura] para sempre. Aleluia!

The shortest chapter in the entire Bible: just two verses summoning all nations to praise the Lord for his great kindness and everlasting truth.
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.
