“The third authority contains the devotion of the gentiles to God. Hence he adds: and again it is written in a psalm: praise the Lord, all you gentiles (Ps 117:4), i.e., confess his goodness: from the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to be praised (Ps 113:3); and all you people, not only the Jewish people, and magnify him, i.e., confess his greatness, i.e., that his greatness exceeds all praise: when you praise the Lord, exalt him as much as you can; for he will surpass even that (Sir 43:30); from the rising of the sun to its setting my name is great among the gentiles (Mal 1:11).”

“God long ago decreed in Psalm 116 that by the intervention of his mercy Jews and Gentiles would be united. The Gentiles would be granted grace to become fellow heirs with the Jews, who by the grace of God were long ago named as his people. While the Jews were noble, the Gentiles were ignoble, but now by God's mercy the Gentiles have been made noble as well, so that all may rejoice together by acknowledging the truth.”
