Le Dieu incomparable
113 Louez l’Eternel[a] !
Louez l’Eternel ╵vous ses serviteurs !
Louez-le, lui, l’Eternel !
2 Que l’Eternel soit béni
dès maintenant et toujours !
3 De l’Orient ╵jusqu’à l’Occident,
que l’Eternel soit loué.
4 L’Eternel est élevé ╵au-dessus de tous les peuples.
Sa gloire est plus haute ╵que le ciel.
5 Qui est comparable ╵à l’Eternel notre Dieu ?
Dans les lieux très-hauts, il siège,
6 mais il s’abaisse pour voir
le ciel et la terre.
7 Il arrache à la poussière ╵l’homme pauvre,
du tas de fumier, ╵il élève l’indigent
8 pour le faire asseoir ╵parmi les notables,
les notables de son peuple[b].
9 Il installe en sa maison ╵la femme stérile,
et elle y connaît ╵la joie d’être mère ╵de nombreux enfants[c].
Louez l’Eternel !

- 113.1 Cet hymne célébrant la majesté et la bonté de l’Eternel introduit la série des Ps 113 à 118 appelée le Hallel. Ces psaumes étaient chantés lors des grandes fêtes israélites (Pâque, fête des Semaines, des Cabanes, de la Dédicace, nouvelle lune, voir Nb 10.10 ; Jn 10.22). Lors de la Pâque, on chantait les Ps 113 et 114 avant la seconde coupe (donc avant le repas même).
- 113.8 Voir 1 S 2.8 ; Lc 1.52-53.
- 113.9 Dans la société antique, la stérilité d’une femme était une grande disgrâce et une terrible tragédie (voir Gn 30.1 ; 1 S 1.6-7, 10).
