Commentary

Psalm 113

John Wesley’s Explanatory Notes (1754–65)

Short notes for ordinary readers by the founder of Methodism: practical, brief and to the point.

Verses 1–5

The desire - Either of the misery of good men; or of his own constant prosperity.

Verses 6–7

Humbleth - Who is so high, that it is a wonderful condescention in him to take any notice of his heavenly host, and much more of sinful and miserable men upon earth.

Verses 8–9

Princes - As he did Joseph, David, and others. His people - Who in God's account are far more honourable than the princes of Heathen nations.
