1Alabad, siervos de Jehová, Alabad el nombre de Jehová.
2Sea el nombre de Jehová bendito Desde ahora y para siempre.
3Desde el nacimiento del sol hasta donde se pone, Sea alabado el nombre de Jehová.
4Excelso sobre todas las naciones es Jehová, Sobre los cielos su gloria.
5¿Quién como Jehová nuestro Dios, Que se sienta en las alturas,
6Que se humilla a mirar En el cielo y en la tierra?
7Él levanta del polvo al pobre, Y al menesteroso alza del muladar,
8Para hacerlos sentar con los príncipes, Con los príncipes de su pueblo.
9Él hace habitar en familia a la estéril, Que se goza en ser madre de hijos. Aleluya.

Pss 113–118 These psalms form what is known as the “Egyptian Hallel” (hallel means “praise”) because Jews use the collection in the celebration of Passover, which was instituted at the beginning of the exodus from Egypt. Psalms 113–114 are recited before the Passover meal and Pss 115–118 afterward.
Ps 113 This hymn of praise exalts the greatness of the Lord’s name and glory. God is greatly exalted and glorious in heaven (113:4); he also stoops down to take care of the lowly and needy on earth (113:5-9).
113:1-3 The name of the Lord (Hebrew Yahweh; see Exod 3:15) reveals his being, character, and reputation. He is exalted in time (now and forever) and in space (from east to west).

113:9 A childless woman was customarily treated with disdain (Gen 16:4); the Lord has the power to make her a happy mother, as he made Sarah (Gen 21:2), Rebekah (Gen 25:21), Rachel (Gen 30:23), and Hannah (1 Sam 1:20). • God’s greatness and goodness provide ample reason to praise him.
