11.Praise God, all ye Gentiles, etc. This passage is not inaptly applied; for how can they, who know not God’ greatness, praise him? They could no more do this than to call on his name, when unknown. It is then a prophecy most suitable to prove the calling of the Gentiles; and this appears still more evident from the reason which is there added; for he bids them to give thanks for God’ truth and mercy. (Psa_117:1.)
