In Psalms, chapter one hundred and thirteen, verses one through nine, the psalm reiterates the twofold Biblical principle that God gives grace to the humble, as in James four, verses six, ten, and First Peter five, verses five through seven, and has compassion on the poor and needy.
The theme chapter under A Hymn of Praise to God reveals those who sincerely praise God regularly will be raised, as in verse seven, “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill.” A believer who praises the Lord receives attention from Him.
God especially cares for widows and the fatherless, for He is a Father to the fatherless and a Defender of widows. All the more so that they can praise the Lord because they are under His special care and protection.
Praise ye the Lord is found in Psalms one hundred and forty-seven, “Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.” The verbal sound and actively with hands raised to the Most High God present a beautiful and victorious atmosphere, who follow through doing this often and consistently.
Praise is significant because the angels and heavenly hosts do, as in Psalm one hundred and forty-eight, verse two, “Praise ye Him, all his angels: praise ye Him, all His hosts.” All who serve Him do likewise in Psalm one hundred and thirteen, verse one, “Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.” Praise Him with a song to Him among His people. “Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints,” as in Psalm one hundred and forty-nine, verse one.
