Salmos 113:4-9

4 Alto sobre todas las naciones es Jehová; Sobre los cielos su gloria.

5 ¿Quién como Jehová nuestro Dios, Que ha enaltecido su habitación,

6 Que se humilla á mirar En el cielo y en la tierra?

7 El levanta del polvo al pobre, Y al menesteroso alza del estiércol,

8 Para hacerlos sentar con los príncipes, Con los príncipes de su pueblo.

9 El hace habitar en familia á la estéril, Gozosa en ser madre de hijos. Aleluya.

Salmos 113:4-9 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.
