Psa 113:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Ver. 1. **Hallelujah** ] See [Psalms 111:1](../../../kjv/psalms/111/1) .
****
**Praise, O ye servants of the Lord** ] None but such can do it, or are fit for it; and for such praise is comely, [Psalms 147:1](../../../kjv/psalms/147/1) , as unthankfulness is an ugly sin, but especially in ministers, those servants of the Lord, by a specialty.
****
**Praise the name of the Lord** ] *Ter repetit, Trinitatem subindicando,* saith one; others note that by this threefold Praise ye, the psalmist taxeth men’s dulness, and exciteth their diligence to this divine duty.

Psa 113:2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
Ver. 2. **Blessed be the name of the Lord** ] Praise him with utmost intention and extension of spirit and of speech. God is therefore called, by an appellative proper, The Blessed One, *Baruc-hu,* Mar 14:61 [Luke 1:68](../../../kjv/luke/1/68) .
****
**From this time, &c.** ] *A nunc et usque.*

**
Psa 113:3 *From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name [is] to be praised.*
Ver. 3. **From the rising of the sun** ] *i.e.* All the world over, in all places and at all times. North and south are not mentioned (but included), because not so well peopled.

Psa 113:4 The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens.
Ver. 4. **The Lord is high, &c.** ] He looketh on the earth as on an ant hill. All nations to him are but as a drop of a bucket, [Isaiah 40:15](../../../kjv/isaiah/40/15) *Quantilla ergo es tu istius guttae particula?* (Aug.).
****
**And his glory above the heavens** ] These are far beneath him in glory as in situation. Angels understand him not fully.

Psa 113:5 Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
Ver. 5. **Who is like, &c.** ] See [Psalms 89:6](../../../kjv/psalms/89/6) . He is imparallel.
****
**Who dwelleth on high** ] Heb. Who exalteth to dwell. Oh that we could fly a pitch any way proportionable by exalting his name together, [Psalms 34:3](../../../kjv/psalms/34/3) .

Psa 113:6 Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!
Ver. 6. **Who humbleth himself** ] Lo, it is a condescension in God to vouchsafe to look out of himself upon the saints and angels, how much more upon us, since sin setteth us farther beneath a worm than a worm is beneath an angel!

Psa 113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
Ver. 7. **He raiseth up the poor, &c.** ] David, for instance, besides many others, as Agathocles, Numa, Maximinianus, &c., whom he raised from the lowest stair to the very highest step of honour and opulence.

Psa 113:8 That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people.
Ver. 8. **That he may set him with princes** ] See [1 Samuel 2:8](../../../kjv/1-samuel/2/8) , Hannah’s song, whereof this seemeth to be an abridgment.

Psa 113:9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Ver. 9. **He maketh the barren woman to keep house** ] Heb. to dwell in a house, that is, to have a house full of children, and so to build her husband’s house, [Ruth 4:11](../../../kjv/ruth/4/11) . This is applied to the Church (which is the theatre of the world, wherein God showeth his special providence and power), [Isaiah 54:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/54/1) [Galatians 4:26-27](../../../kjv/galatians/4/26-27) .
