I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Psalm 113, the Psalmist praises the LORD for his glory and for the great deliverances which he brings into the lives of individuals. It is framed, at the beginning and at the end of the Psalm, by the phrase "Praise the LORD!." This is one of several "Hallel" Psalms (see the next section for a list), which are Psalms of praise which are sung at various Jewish Religious Holidays. Psalms 113-118 (called "The Egyptian Hallel") are sung as a unit at the three Pilgrim Festivals: Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles. Psalms 118-136, and particularly Psalm 136, which was sung at the end of the Passover meal, was called "The Great Hallel." Psalm 145 features praises to God; and some classify it with the last five Psalms as one of the Hallel Psalms. And Psalms 146-150 are five concluding Hallel Psalms and are simply called "Hallel Psalms".Psalm 113 - #5. ] The Psalmist opens and closes his Psalm by inviting us to praise the LORD (1). The name of the LORD is blessed forever (2). From the rising of the sun to the going down thereof the name of the LORD is to be praised (3). The LORD is exalted above the nations; and his glory is above the heavens (4). No one is like the LORD (5). Nevertheless he humbles himself to behold the things in the heavens and the earth (6). He raises the poor and needy from the dust and the dunghill; and he makes them sit with the princes of his people (7-8). He makes the barren woman to be a joyful mother of children. The verse and the Psalm close with the call to Praise the Lord (9). [ Sermons: J Ligon Duncan III. Various. ] Bible Chronologies -- Genesis to Revelation [Traditional Patriarchal Chronology.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms. Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer (Habakkuk) and a musical notation ("upon Shigionoth"). It closes with a dedication or a "send to" notice ("To the chief singer on my stringed instruments"). I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
