Matthew Henry's Psalms Chapter 117 Bible commentary...
All people called upon to praise God.
- Here is a solemn call to all nations to praise the Lord, and proper matter for that praise is suggested. We are soon weary of well-doing, if we keep not up the pious and devout affections with which the spiritual sacrifice of praise ought to be kindled and kept burning. This is a gospel psalm. The apostle, #Ro 15:11|, quotes it as a proof that the gospel was to be preached to the Gentile nations, and that it would be entertained by them. For many ages, in Judah only was God known, and his name praised; this call was not then given to any Gentiles. But the gospel of Christ is ordered to be preached to all nations, and by him those that were afar off are made nigh. We are among the persons to whom the Holy Spirit here speaks, whom he calls upon to join his ancient people in praising the Lord. Grace has thus abounded to millions of perishing sinners. Let us then listen to the offers of the grace of God, and pray for that time when all nations of the earth shall show forth his praises. And let us bless God for the unsearchable riches of gospel grace.

Just leave it all to him andpraise him in the good times when you have them, and always remember to praise him in the bad times for thats where we learn he's still God and he overcomes it all, where praise is god will be there for he is faithfull to the end. Praise belongeth to him.

I feel that psalms 17 is saying giving praise to the lord for all he has done for us, for he has kept his promise, and stood by our sides. When we called upon him he answered with pleasure. For the Lord is worthy to be praised....
