Psalms 113:2 - Exposition

Blessed be the Name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. The prayer here is that God may be praised through all time, as in the next verse it is that he may be praised through all space. In connection with the praise of God, limits of time and place are unsuitable (comp. Psalms 115:18 ; Psalms 121:8 ; Psalms 125:1-5 :8; Psalms 131:3 ; Isaiah 59:21 ; Micah 4:7 ).
