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.

Call to Universal and Eternal Praise

1
Praise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.
2
The name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto the age.
3
From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised is the name of Jehovah.

God's Incomparable Majesty and Transcendence

4
High above all nations is Jehovah, Above the heavens is his honour.
5
Who is as Jehovah our God, He is exalting Himself to sit?
6
He is humbling Himself to look On the heavens and on the earth.

God's Condescension and Care for the Marginalized

7
He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.
8
To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.
9
Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!
