| Summary: | Psalm 113 is concerned with issues relevant to circumstances in our country. The reference to a reversal in the fortunes of the poor (vv 7-9), immediately leads to questions: Who are the poor? For which audience has the psalm been intended? How did the community of believers apply this psalm to their situation? Various answers have been given to these questions. The purpose of this paper is to provide answers to such questions by listening to the intratextual voice of the psalm itself as well as the intertextual voice of the community of believers' reception of the psalm. |
