I had a couple of options for this, the shortest chapter in Scripture.
At one extreme I found a couple of versions where the whole psalm fitted within 140 characters; at the other I thought about simply "Praise the LORD!"
In the end I decided to stay in keeping with the rest of the summaries, while also holding true to the principle that every psalm gives a reason for praise.
This summary (after adjustment to the more usual British English 'towards') comes in at a single character less than my summary of Esther 10.
Thanks a lot!!! Helped me with my school project
Love and faithfulness forever, just about sums it up. Praise the Lord!
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Psalms.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
Find out about the project here, you can buy the Bible Summary book on Kindle or in paperback, and feel free to get in contact if you have any comments or questions.

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?
