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 ye the Lord. Praise, O ye seruants of the Lord, prayse the Name of the Lord. 2Blessed be the Name of the Lord from hencefoorth and for euer. 3The Lordes Name is praysed from the rising of ye sunne, vnto ye going downe of the same. 4The Lord is high aboue all nations, and his glorie aboue the heauens. 5Who is like vnto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling on high! 6Who abaseth himselfe to beholde things in the heauen and in the earth! 7He raiseth the needie out of the dust, and lifteth vp the poore out of the dung, 8That he may set him with the princes, euen with the princes of his people. 9He maketh the barren woman to dwell with a familie, and a ioyfull mother of children. Prayse ye the Lord.
