Psalms 113:1 "Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord."

This is the third of these Hallelujah Psalms.

Psalms 113:2 "Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and for ever-more. "

Note the stability that exists within our Lord. He is the same today, as he was far into the past, and He will be the same into the eternity. He is our strength at all times, for He is our security.

Psalms 113:3 "From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same The Lord's name is to be praised."

Each of us had better praise Him, for from our Lord comes all wisdom. Wisdom is what allows you to live a successful life, and be prosperous in your business. It is from wisdom that we receive our peace of mind.

Psalms 113:4 "The Lord is high above all nations, And His glory above the heavens."

Our heavenly Father is in control of all nations on the face of the earth, at all times. Father sets them up, and He takes them down, at His pleasure. Father is in charge of not only the things that go on here on earth, but those things that take place in the heavens. He controls the planets and the stars, for He created them all.

Psalms 113:5 "Who is like unto the Lord our God, Who dwelleth on high,"

Absolutely no one is like unto our Lord God. Sure Satan will come and pretend that he is like God, and the people of this world in their ignorance will believe him, but Satan is a created being just like you and I, created to serve God, but Satan in his pride is doomed from that first earth age. Satan is the "son of perdition" that will make many claims, but his short reign will end when he is bound and thrown into the pit.

Psalms 113:6 "Who humbleth Himself to behold The things that are in heaven, and the the earth!"

Psalms 113:7 "He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;"

If you are there with the needy and living in the dust, turn to God, for He sill lift you out of that poverty.

Psalms 113:8 "That He may set him with princes, Even with the princes of His People."

Christ Christ returns to this earth and sets up His dominion, When you are one of Christ, you will sit with His princes in that time to come. This is what the chapter of Ezekiel 44 is all about. The responsibility and life style of those Zadok that love and trust Jesus in this earth age is recorded there.

Psalms 113:9 "He maketh the barren woman to keep house, And to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord."

This is talking to you, if you are of the elect and remain true to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Stop and think for a moment, the barren woman is not even to have a house, as far as the family is concerned.

Luke 23:28 "But Jesus turning unto them said, `Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for Me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children."

Luke 23:29 "For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, `Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.' "

As Jesus was carrying His cross up the hill to be crucified, many women were watching by the roadway, crying for the Lord. Then He told them not to weep for me, daughters of Jerusalem, but for you children. Why? Because the days are coming when it will be said, blessed are the barren that naever had children. Our Lord Jesus Christ knew that many of those women's children will set up housekeeping far to early, as they give in marriage to the wrong wedding, to Satan in his role as the Antichrist. The point here is that the wife to be is to be barren until the husband is present for the wedding. The wedding is at the coming of the Lord at the seventh trumpet, but many will be taken at the sixth trumpet. God has put it in such an easy form that everyone should be able to relate to it, but do you?
