PSALM 113

. God's majesty contrasted with His condescension and
gracious dealings towards the humble furnish matter and a call for
praise. The Jews, it is said, used this and Psalms 114-118 on their
great festivals, and called them the *Greater Hallel,* or *Hymn.*

**1-3.** Earnestness and zeal are
denoted by the emphatic repetitions.
**servants of the Lord**—or,
all the people of God.
**name of the Lord**—perfections
([Psalms 5:11](../../../kjv/psalms/5/11); [Psalms 111:9](../../../kjv/psalms/111/9)).

**3. From the rising,** &c.—all
the world.

**4-6.** God's exaltation enhances
His condescension;

**7, 8.** which condescension is
illustrated as often in raising the worthy poor and needy to honor
(compare [1 Samuel 2:8](../../../kjv/1-samuel/2/8); [Psalms 44:25](../../../kjv/psalms/44/25)).

**9.** On this special case, compare
[1 Samuel 2:21](../../../kjv/1-samuel/2/21). Barrenness was
regarded as a disgrace, and is a type of a deserted Church ([1 Samuel 2:21](../../../kjv/1-samuel/2/21)).
**the barren woman . . .
house**—literally, "the barren of the house," so that
the supplied words may be omitted.
