Psalm 113 opens the Hallel psalms (Ps. 113-118), which are a “Passover” remembrance call to worship. In this Psalm we see how God’s character—sovereign and compassionate—demands universal and unceasing praise. This psalm anchors our worship not just in what God does but in who He is, both above the nations and close to the needy. Psalm 113 reaffirms that there is no one like our God, high and lifted up.
