This is a praise Psalm, praising God for His deliverance of our soul. Praising Him for His delivering you from the lies of men's lips. We are the many membered body of Christ, in Him and with Him. He Has delivered us from the traditions of men, that will snare millions into their little societies of fear, if we would allow it. They teach the practice of Moloch, that "your heavenly Father will burn you if you don't do this or that." Presenting our Father as fire and brimstone, instead of a God of Love. If any church would bind you in fiery binding threats, shake the dust of your feet and head on down the road. It is Satan that causes death in hell fire, not our Loving Heavenly Father. Don't try to blame that trip on Him, for those ideas never came into His mind. Such an evil thing is preached in many so called Christian churches around the world as the Gospel of Christ, when it is nothing but dogma from Satan himself, Moloch worship. Anytime Church that hold you with anything but the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, it becomes time to leave.

Psalms 117:1 "O praise the Lord, all ye nations: Praise Him, all ye people."

Praise the Lord, all ye nations, all peoples and races on the face of the earth. Our Heavenly Father is constant in His love for all people, and He holds His loving arms out to all that will come to Him in repentance.

Romans 15:9 "And that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, "For this cause I will confess to Thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto Thy name." "

Romans 15:10 "And again He saith, "Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with His people."

Romans 15:11; "And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles: and laud Him, all ye People."

Psalms 117:2 "For His merciful kindness is great toward us: And the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye THE LORD."

Does this sound like a God of hate to you? Of course not. This is why we correct that expression that has been mistranslated, "fear God", which in all cases should read, "revere God". God is a God of reverence, and when fear is taught, it displays the mindset of the teacher. That is how that teacher or preacher looks at our heavenly Father. It becomes the hammer that he or she uses to hold you under that teaching. They tell you that your soul is damned to hell, if you don't align with them, and then give you all their dos and don'ts that they have set up. Come out from amongst them.

Our God is a merciful God, and He shed His blood for you. His merciful kindness is great toward us. Those teachers that truly love the Lord will teach and show that love of the Father, as it reflects from the pages of God's Word in and through their lives. Our God is a God that heals, and doesn't cause sickness. He builds up, rather than destroys: He gives life eternal, rather than death to the soul. He is a God of love and blessings for all those that will accept Him.
