Contextual Overview

1 Prayse God ye seruauntes: prayse ye the name of God. 2 Blessed be the name of God: from this time foorth for euermore. 3 The name of God is to be praysed: from the rising vp of the sunne, vnto the goyng downe of the same. 4 God is high aboue all Heathen: and his glory aboue the heauens. 5 Who is like vnto God our Lord that dwelleth on hygh aboue all: 6 and yet humbleth him selfe to beholde the thinges that are in heauen and in earth? 7 He rayseth vp the simple out of the dust: and lyfteth vp the poore from the dounghyll. 8 For to make him sit with the princes: euen with the princes of his people. 9 He maketh the barren woman to kepe house: and to be a ioyful mother of children. Prayse ye the Lorde.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

That he may set [him] with princes,.... As all the saints are by birth, being the sons of God, the King of kings; born of him, and not of the will of man; and are of a princely spirit, have a free spirit, and offer themselves and services willingly to the Lord; have the spirit of adoption, in opposition to a spirit of bondage; and, as princes, have power with God and prevail; and are also heirs of God, heirs of salvation, heirs of a kingdom, as princes be; now such as are raised by Christ and his grace from a low estate and condition are set among those princes here; they are brought to Zion, and have a place and a name in the house of God, better than that of sons and daughters; and become fellowcitizens with the saints; and they are set among princes hereafter in the kingdom of heaven.

Even with the princes of his people; the more eminent among the people of God, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, with whom they shall sit down in the kingdom of heaven; and with the prophets of the Old Testament, and the apostles of the New; and even with all the saints, who are made kings and priests unto God; see Psalms 45:16.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

That he may set him with princes - May give him a rank - a position - with nobles and great people upon the earth. Many instances of this nature have occurred in the history of the world. Not a few of the nobles of England, including several of its lord chancellors, have been raised thus from very humble life; and in every nation God shows that he has power to give to those of humblest rank a name and place which no hereditary titles and honors can bestow: thus Shakespeare was the son of a glover and woolstapler. God has power to come into the humblest cottage of poverty, and to bring forth those who shall stand foremost in their generation as people of genius and power. Nothing is more absolute than the power which God thus holds over the nations of the earth, and it is meet that a Being who has this power, and who exercises it, should be praised and honored.

Even with the princes of his people - Among those who are selected to preside over the people whom he has chosen for himself. It is implied here that this would be a higher honor than to be exalted to power among a pagan people - a people ignorant of the true God. It is a higher honor to be counted worthy to rule a Christian nation than a pagan people; it is a higher honor to be a ruler in the church - over those whom God has redeemed for himself - than it is to administer a secular government.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 113:8. With the princes — נדיבים nedebim, very properly translated by the Anglo-Saxon [A.S.], the aldermen, the most respectable of his people.
