NOTES for Psa 113
Remarkably, the fact that the Lord is high above all nations does not contradict the fact that He raises the poor to seat them with princes. It is not only that He shows no partiality and that human ambitions for advancement are irrelevant before Him. The Lord truly can make a cook capable of governing a state, but such changes cannot be ends in themselves. Before Him we are all equal, and whatever rung of the social ladder we may occupy, each of us is dear and precious to Him. He wants to draw each person near to Himself, and therefore to raise each one higher than princes.
Human prejudices, including social ones, have become so deeply ingrained in us that we drag them even into the Church, and all too often they defile both the Church and our perception of Revelation. But whatever is alien, the Lord will certainly reject.
