Psalms113

Psalms 113 is a fervent call to praise the LORD's name from all His servants, continually and universally. It extols God's transcendent greatness, noting His position high above all nations and heavens. Yet, it also highlights His humble condescension to observe earthly affairs and His compassionate power to uplift the poor, the needy, and to bless the barren with children.

Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye seruants of the Lord, prayse the Name of the Lord.

Blessed be the Name of the Lord from hencefoorth and for euer.

5
Who is like vnto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling on high!

God's Condescension and Care for the Marginalized

He raiseth the needie out of the dust, and lifteth vp the poore out of the dung,
8
That he may set him with the princes, euen with the princes of his people.
9
He maketh the barren woman to dwell with a familie, and a ioyfull mother of children. Prayse ye the Lord.
