Psalms 113:5
Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?
BSB
ASV
Who is like unto Jehovah our God, That hath his seat on high,
KJV
Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
Another psalm that was read says, "Who is as the Lord our God who dwells on high and looks down on the low things in heaven and in earth?" God, no doubt, casts his eyes on the lowly, he who laid bare the relics of the holy martyrs of his church, lying hid under the lowly turf, their souls in heaven, their bodies in the earth: "Raising up the needy person out of the dust, lifting up the poor person out of the dunghill," placing him, as you see, with the princes of his people.
Who is like unto the Lord our God? The challenge will never be answered. None can be compared with him for an instant; Israel's God is without parallel; our own God in covenant stands alone, and none can be likened unto him. Even those whom he has made like himself in some respects are not like him in godhead, for his divine attributes are many of them incommunicable and inimitable.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
