The dealings of the Lord, the result and character of uprightness, and His fear in Man being shown, the results break forth in praise in the chorus of those happy through it.
Christ summons them in Spirit, thus blessed at their head, to praise the Name of Jehovah—the subject of the Hallelujahs in each, for none is like to Jehovah, the God of that people, high above all the heathen, and His glory above the heavens—all things in heaven and earth united under His possession, and specially blessing the poor and lowly Israel. This is Psa. 113. Note, His Name is to be praised to the end of the earth.
As to the particulars of this Psalm, it is still "Hallelujah," then embraces the two points mentioned—"Praise, 0 ye servants of Jehovah"—"Praise the Name of Jehovah."
2. The answer begins from the servants of Jehovah, "Blessed be the Name of Jehovah from this" (the time of blessing) "forever." Praise upon it in every place! "Jehovah," who is the God of the Jews, Hebrews, "is high above all nations"—all earthly supremacy of glory—"Above the heavens," it is not confined there but above them all. "None like him, even Jehovah our God," with which it now closes because He exalts Himself—in grace He humbleth Himself—and who hath made this known? Jesus! That is now known to believers in Jesus. But indeed His supremacy is known in this grace, for thus He does, "He humbles himself," etc., verses 7, 8. The exaltation is clearly Jewish.
9. The reader of Isa. 54 and Galatians must be familiar with this verse. It is plainly Jerusalem, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah!
