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.

Psalms 113 (ASV)
American Standard Version (public domain)
Who Is Like the Lord Our God?
1Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah, Praise the name of Jehovah. 2Blessed be the name of Jehovah From this time forth and for evermore. 3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Jehovah’s name is to be praised. 4Jehovah is high above all nations, And his glory above the heavens. 5Who is like unto Jehovah our God, That hath his seat on high, 6That humbleth himself to behold [The things that are] in heaven and in the earth? 7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill; 8That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people. 9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [And to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye Jehovah.
