Though God sits on high, he hears and lifts us up.
The sermon explores the biblical perspective of how God views the world and how this shapes the church's mission and worldview. Drawing from Psalm 113, Mark Hampton emphasizes two key perspectives: humanity looking up to God in awe of His majesty, power, and worthiness of praise, and God looking down with compassion, especially toward the poor, needy, and marginalized. The sermon highlights that while God is exalted above all, He chooses to lift up those who are lowly, demonstrating both His transcendence and immanence. The sermon calls the church to adopt God's perspective—recognizing His greatness while also drawing near to those in need, embodying love and justice in practical ways. By doing so, the church fulfills its mission, reflecting God's character by lifting up the lowly and being present with those often overlooked by society.

The Book of Psalms Psalm 113 Psalm 113 calls us to praise God not as a reaction to good circumstances, but as a response to His unchanging worth. Because God is exalted above all yet stoops to lift the lowly, praise becomes both our calling and our lifeline in every season of life. When we choose to praise—even in suffering—God uses it to reorient our hearts and awaken our joy in Him.

Welcome to Day 2798 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2798 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 113:1-9 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2798 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand seven hundred ninety-eight of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title of today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Hallel Begins – The High God Who Stoops Low Today, we cross a significant threshold in our journey through the Psalter. We are stepping into Psalm One Hundred Thirteen, covering the entire hymn, verses one through nine, in the New Living Translation. To understand the shift we are making today, we need to look back at the trail we have just hiked. For the last two days, we have been trekking through Psalm One Hundred Eleven and Psalm One Hundred Twelve. Those two psalms were a matched pair—twin "acrostic" poems that functioned like a classroom. They taught us the "A to Z" of God's character and the "A to Z" of the godly person's character. They were wisdom psalms, designed to be studied, pondered, and memorized in the quiet of the study hall. But today, the bell rings, and the class is dismissed. We are moving from the study hall to the Festival. Psalm One Hundred Thirteen marks the beginning of a special collection known as the "Egyptian Hallel" (Psalms One Hundred Thirteen through One Hundred Eighteen). These six psalms were, and still are, the liturgical soundtrack of the Passover Seder. They celebrate God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt. In Jewish tradition, Psalms One Hundred Thirteen and One Hundred Fourteen are sung before the Passover meal, and Psalms One Hundred Fifteen through One Hundred Eighteen are sung after the meal. This means that on the night Jesus was betrayed, just before He went to the Garden of Gethsemane, He likely sang these very words with His disciples. So, as we read this psalm, we are not just reading poetry; we are stepping into the Upper Room. We are hearing the song that fortified the Messiah for the cross. The theme of this psalm is a magnificent paradox. It presents Yahweh as the God who is Infinitely High—seated above the nations and the heavens—yet who insists on stooping Infinitely Low to lift the poor from the dust and the barren woman from her grief. It is the theology of the Great Descent. So, let us lift our voices with the choir of history and begin the Hallel. The first segment is: The Call to the Servants: A Praise Without Borders. Psalm One Hundred Thirteen: verses one through three. Praise the Lord! Yes, give praise, O servants of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord! Blessed be the name of the Lord now and forever. Everywhere—from east to west— praise the name of the Lord. The psalm opens with the signature shout of the Hallel: "Hallelujah!" ("Praise the Lord!"). But notice...
1 Halleluja – lobt den HERRN! Lobt den HERRN, ihr seine Diener, lobt seinen herrlichen Namen! 2 Ja, der Name des HERRN werde gepriesen – jetzt und in alle Ewigkeit! 3 Von dort, wo die Sonne aufgeht, bis dorthin, wo sie untergeht – überall werde der HERR gelobt! 4 Er herrscht über alle Völker, seine Hoheit und Macht überragt selbst den Himmel! 5-6 Einzigartig […]
Psalm 113 preist Gott mit kraftvollen Bildern als den Erhabenen, dessen Herrlichkeit Himmel, Erde, Raum und Zeit übersteigt. Zugleich richtet der Psalm den Blick auf das überraschende Handeln dieses hohen Gottes: Er schaut hinab, sieht die Geringen und Armen und richtet sie aus dem Staub auf. Dave Brander erklärt: Gottes Größe zeigt sich gerade darin, […]

Psalm 113:5 - Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high
Psalm 113 is the first psalm in the Egyptian Hallel, which was used during the Passover celebration. The servants of the LORD are called to praise Him at all times and in all places. He is enthroned over His entire creation so that no one at all is like Him. In His almighty power, He shows incredible mercy, lifting up the poor and the needy and giving children to the barren. All of this He has accomplished in the incarnation, death, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. Carl Roth, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 113. To learn more about Grace Lutheran, visit www.graceelgin.org. Join Sharper Iron this summer to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
