Psalm 113
Before we get into what Psalm 113 has to teach us, there are some other interesting things for us to know about this Psalm. Psalm 113 is a Psalm that is often read during the time of Passover. When Jesus and His disciples were in the Upper Room when they shared the Last Supper together, they more than likely recited this Psalm at some point in the evening.
Psalm 113 is a poem that has a specific structure. Each line begins with one of the letters in the Hebrew alphabet from the beginning of the alphabet to the end. As a poet, I find this very interesting. I think that it is much more difficult to compose a poem using a set form than it is composing in a completely free form style.
The final portion of Psalm 113 tells us that the name of the Lord should be praised from the rising to the setting of the sun. Our God is great. We have so much to thank and praise Him for. If we praised God every waking moment of our lives, we could not praise Him enough.
Two things tell the greatness of God. Our God is so great that He cares about the needs of His creation.
The Lord cares about those who are poor and needy. These are the ones that many people do not care about. God cares, and He has directed those who follow Him to care for the least of these.
Ultimately, all those who have suffered in this life will he made whole and receive justice.
Great is the Lord. May the Lord be praised both now and forevermore.
