Psalms 113:3-6

Context

113:3 From east to west 1 

the Lord’s name is deserving of praise.

113:4 The Lord is exalted over all the nations;

his splendor reaches beyond the sky. 2 

113:5 Who can compare to the Lord our God,

who sits on a high throne? 3 

113:6 He bends down to look 4 

at the sky and the earth.

1 tn Heb “from the rising of the sun to its setting.” The extent is not temporal (“from sunrise to sunset”) but spatial (“from the place where the sun rises [the east] to the place where it sets [the west].” In the phenomenological language of OT cosmology, the sun was described as rising in the east and setting in the west.

2 tn Heb “above the sky [is] his splendor.”

3 tn Heb “the one who makes high to sit.”

4 tn Heb “the one who makes low to see.”
