He sets the lowly on high The phrase "He sets the lowly on high" reflects the divine action of God elevating those who are humble or of low status. The Hebrew word for "lowly" is "שָׁפָל" (shaphal), which can mean humble, low, or abased. In the context of the Ancient Near East, social hierarchies were rigid, and the lowly often had little hope of changing their status. This phrase emphasizes God's sovereignty and His ability to reverse human conditions, aligning with the biblical theme that God exalts the humble (see also 1 Samuel 2:7-8 and Luke 1:52). It serves as a reminder that God values humility and can transform the lives of those who trust in Him. so that mourners are lifted to safety Parallel Commentaries ...
