Psalms 113:7

"who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?"

Key Reflection

This verse portrays God as one who humbly descends to observe both heavenly and earthly realms, emphasizing His attentiveness to all aspects of creation, highlighting a divine quality of condescension and care that extends from the celestial to the terrestrial.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust -From the most humble condition in life. He exalts them to conditions of wealth, rank, honor. He has power to do this; he actually does it. This is not intended to be affirmed as a universal truth, or to assert that it is always done, but that it is among the things which show his majesty, his power, and his goodness, and which lay the foundation for praise. And lifteth the needy out of the dunghill -From the condition of lowest poverty.
