Context of Psalms 113:6
4The Lord is high above all nations, And His glory above the heavens. 5Who is like the Lord our God, Who is enthroned on high, Who humbles Himself to regard The heavens and the earth? 7He raises the poor out of the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap, 8That He may seat them with princes, With the princes of His people.
