Sunday Psalms:

Who is like the Lord our God - the one enthroned on high,

who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the trash heap in order to seat them with nobles- with the nobles of his people.

Psalms 113:5-8 CSB

There's a phrase earlier in this Psalm that was part of a popular hymn sung in church;

"From the rising of the sun to its setting, let the name of the Lord be praised."

But I never recall the reason for that praise being because God entered into the suffering of this world, I never heard that our God is about justice, about making things right, about seeing and working to help those without power, without resources, and to follow Him in that work.

Yet God's heart for people cannot be missed in this song. 

His heart for the hurt, the dispossessed, those who are in the "trash heap" of our world. 

If that is where you find yourself today, trash, without voice, then this song is a reminder that Unfailing Love knows you, stoops down, and while everything may not be made right today, one day it will.
