The chapter
What happens here
Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.
The nations and peoples are called together for a single, enormous refrain: praise the LORD, because his loving devotion is great and his faithfulness lasts forever.
A praise for every peoplevv. 1–2
The summons begins with all nations and all peoples, then gives its reason: the LORD’s loving devotion is great, and his faithfulness endures forever. The whole thing ends with Hallelujah, which is a remarkably efficient conclusion.
