Psalms 113:4-6
The Lord is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens!
Who is like the Lord our God,
who is seated on high,
who looks far down
on the heavens and the earth?
Tag: God’s Glory is Above it All!!
The title given by men to Psalm 113 in the ESV version of the Bible is: Who Is Like the Lord Our God? This short song of praise attempts to demonstrate to us and enlighten us about the power and awesomeness of God. In the above text the author (unknown) asks a simply question: Who is like our God? The writer has already answered the question in his opening statement: The Lord is high above all nations and his glory above the heavens!
In our world the “heavens” are the highest thing we know. Astronomers tells us the “observable” size of the universe is 46 billion light years. Assuming they are remotely correct, God’s glory is beyond and bigger and more awesome than that, according to this praise song. His “glory is above the heavens.” He looks down on the “heavens and the earth.” God is so powerful, awesome and all encompassing that we can’t imagine. When we pray we pray to a God who is beyond all that we see through any telescope. Yet, He knows us personally and intimately. He is so big we can’t imagine Him; He is so close we can feel His presence through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Wow!!!
