The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
God's excellence towers far above the heavens, yet He deigns to cast His eyes upon the earth and govern all things according to His will. When you see sudden changes in the world, do not lose sight of His providence; He permits no disorder that is not under His sovereign direction.

Commenting on Psalm 113:1-9
The Lord is high above all nations. Though the Gentiles knew him not, yet was Jehovah their ruler: their false gods were no gods, and their kings were puppets in his hands. The Lord is high above all the learning, judgment, and imagination of heathen sages, and far beyond the pomp and might of the monarchs of the nations.
Praise is pressed upon us repeatedly because we are slow to it, yet those who serve Him know Him best and have the most reason to praise Him. It is their business to speak well of their Master; if they do not, who should?
