References for Psa 113:2 —  1   2   3 

Psalm Ps. 113. This short hymn of praise celebrates the way in which the great God who rules over all takes notice of the lowly. Such a God is indeed worthy to be praised by all mankind. Psalms 113–118 have been used in connection with Passover. These psalms likely provided the hymn that Jesus and his disciples sang after their Passover meal (Matt. 26:30).

Ps. 113:1–3 The theme of the whole psalm is seen in its opening and closing words: Praise the Lord! The servants of the Lord should lead the way in praise. They live in confidence that one day their God will be praised from the rising of the sun to its setting.

Ps. 113:4–9 The God who deserves to be praised by all mankind is seated on high (ruling over the whole world), and yet he looks far down and raises the poor from the dust. God reigns in majesty, but that does not mean he is remote from his people. Rather, it means he is able to see and respond to all their needs.
