Psalm 113
1. An exhortation to praise God for his excellence
6. For his mercy














(6) Humbleth himself.--Contrast this condescension with the indifference to human joys and sorrows which heathen deities were said to show.

Verse 6. - Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth. It is a condescension in God to regard even "the things that are in heaven," since the very "heavens are not clean in his sight" (Job 15:15). Much more is it a condescension in him to behold the gross material things of earth. Yet he gives them his constant care and attention, since otherwise they would cease to be.
