Salmos 113:1-7

1 Salmo 113
¡Alabado sea el Señor
!
Sí, alábenle, oh siervos del Señor
,
¡alaben el nombre del Señor
!

2 Bendito sea el nombre del Señor
ahora y para siempre.

3 En todas partes —del oriente al occidente—,
alaben el nombre del Señor
.

4 Él está por encima de las naciones;
su gloria es más alta que los cielos.

5 ¿Quién puede compararse con el Señor
nuestro Dios,
quien está entronizado en las alturas?

6 Él se inclina para mirar
el cielo y la tierra.

7 Levanta del polvo a los pobres,
y a los necesitados, del basurero.

Salmos 113:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 113

With this psalm begins the great "Hallel", which ends with Psalm 118; and was used to be sung at the Jewish festivals, particularly at the feast of tabernacles and of the passover; and is thought by some to be the hymn sung by Christ and his apostles, after the celebration of the Lord's supper; in which there are many things pertinent to that occasion as well as to the above feasts. This psalm is a song of praise for redemption by Christ, to be sung in Gospel times, when the name of the Lord should be known among all nations, from the rising to the setting sun. It is thought by some to be an abridgment of the song of Hannah, 1Sa 2:1-10, there is an agreement.
