PSALM 113 THE ARGUMENT This Psalm is a declaration of God's powerful and universal providence towards all men, and especially towards his afflicted people. An exhortation for all men to praise the Lord, for his excellency and greatness, Psalms 113:1-5; for his condescension to the poor and humble-minded, Psalms 113:6-9. Ye servants of the Lord; ye Levites, who are peculiarly devoted to this solemn work, who sometimes are called God's servants in a special sense, and all you faithful souls.

Psalms 113:1

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
