Psalm 113 - 115

The psalmist praises God for His position high above creation. His name and fame are far beyond our ability to create or greater than anything to which one can attain. He promotes and demotes whom He will; and He is good for doing so.

God controls nature by His very presence. When He appears, all of creation responds in appropriate worship. All creation is designed to worship at the feet of Him who created it; and it is the proper and appropriate response.

The psalmist asks that God's name and reputation increase. All other gods are lauded and held up for reverence, but God alone is worthy of worship and praise. He alone inhabits heaven, and He shares His glory with none other. It is the duty of all living creatures to cause God's name to be praised.
