| 1 ¶ Praise ye the LORD.
Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised. |
1 - Praise See on ps10435;
ps11101.
Also ps148, ps150.
3 - Unto the going down Our thoughts should be steadily on the goodness of God. This helps avoid apostasy ro0120. |
| 4 The LORD is high above
all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, 6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! |
4
- All nations See da0221.
Christ took the form of humanity ph0205. He overcame where Adam failed so that, by His sacrifice as the Passover Lamb, we might be redeemed. |
| 7 He raiseth up the
poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. 9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. |
9 - Barren woman This is our clue that the psalm draws from the prayer of Hannah 1sa0201-10. |
