Psalms 113:1-3 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

The prophet Malachi looking into gospel days, declared, that the name of Jehovah should be great among the Gentiles, from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, Malachi 1:11. To this most reasonable service, the servants of the Lord are here called; and the subjects of creation, providence, and redemption, furnish out endless matter for devout souls to enlarge upon. And oh! thou blessed Jesus, how dust thou, as the servant of Jehovah, set a glorious example to all thy redeemed! Though thou wert Lord of all, yet didst thou condescend to be servant of all, and didst even wash thy disciple's feet, in token of thine unequalled humility, and to teach us to do as thou hast done, John 13:13-15. Truly, Lord I am thy servant: thou hast loosed my bonds, Psalms 116:16.
