This psalm begins and ends with "Hallelujah;" for, as many others, it is designed to promote the great and good work of praising God. I. We are here called upon and urged to praise God (Psa 113:1-3). II. We are here furnished with matter for praise, and words are put into our mouths, in singing which we must with holy fear and love give to God the glory of, 1. The elevations of his glory and greatness (Psa 113:4, Psa 113:5). 2. The condescensions of his grace and goodness (Psa 113:6-9), which very much illustrate one another, that we may be duly affected with both.

Who Is Like the Lord Our God?
1Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name. 2Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more. 3From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised. 4The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens. 5Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high, 6who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth? 7He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap, 8that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. 9He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
