Salmos 113:1-8

1 ¡Aleluya! Alabad, siervos del SEÑOR, alabad el nombre del SEÑOR.
2 Bendito sea el nombre del SEÑOR desde ahora y para siempre.
3 Desde el nacimiento del sol hasta su ocaso, alabado sea el nombre del SEÑOR.
4 Excelso sobre todas las naciones es el SEÑOR; su gloria está sobre los cielos.
5 ¿Quién es como el SEÑOR nuestro Dios, que está sentado en las alturas,
6 que se humilla para mirar lo que hay en el cielo y en la tierra?
7 El levanta al pobre del polvo, y al necesitado saca del muladar,
8 para sentarlos con príncipes, con los príncipes de su pueblo.

Salmos 113:1-8 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.
