Psalms 113 Bible Study Guide

Psalm 113 is the first of the Hallel psalms (Psalms 113-118) sung at Passover and other festivals. It calls the servants of the Lord to praise his name, which is to be blessed from this time forth and forevermore. The psalm declares that the Lord is high above all nations but stoops down to raise the poor from the dust and lift the needy from the ash heap. He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children.
