Psalm 113 asserts the greatness of God (113:4-6): “The Lord is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, who is enthroned on high …?” It is safe to say that many of our troubles in the Christian life stem from the fact that (as J. B. Phillips put it) our God is too small. Psalm 113 in Septuagint/Vulgate numbering would correspond to Psalm 114–115 in Hebrew numbering. Psalm 113 is the 113th psalm of the Book of Psalms, generally known in English by its first verse, in the King James Version, “Praise ye the Lord, O ye servants of the Lord”.
Psalm 113:1-9
Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised. The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, Who humbled himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Father God, I know that it is Your will to help those that are stressed, afflicted or are hurting from a loss of a loved one, or someone needing some sort of healing. Guide me to speak the right words or just to support the weak, to provide for the widows and orphans and to help those that are in need. Use my hands and feet to be of service to those in need, and use my voice to speak words of healing and encouragement to those that are afflicted and in distress. I thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
{Power Verse}
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.

Psalm 113:3
