Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Mazmur 113:5

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall have them in derision. – As he has said that they have taken counsel together against the Lord, to nullify His word, (so now) he says that He sits in heaven, and hears their words, and laughs at and derides them. And when he says of God – Blessed be He! – He shall laugh at and deride (them), it is metaphorical, an accommodation to human language; for a man laughs at and mocks one whom he despises and esteems as nothing at all. And so: “And Thou, Lord, shalt laugh at them, Thou shalt mock at all the nations” (Ps. 59:9); “The Lord shall laugh at him, for He sees that his day is coming” (Ps. 37:13). And when he says: He that sitteth in the heavens, the meaning of “sitting” is abiding (enduring), as “and Thou, Lord, remainest (lit. sittest) for ever” (Ps. 102:13). And so every expression of sitting, when it is used of God – Blessed be He! – as, “O Thou that sittest in the Heavens” (Ps. 123:1); “That hath His seat on high” (Ps. 113:5). And when he says in the heavens, it is because they are stable and endure for ever, and their individualities do not come to an end like those of the earth.

Who created the earth Heb. חולי, Who created the earth. The “yud” is superfluous as מגביהי, משפילי and ההוֹפכי.

אבני שהם, “onyx stones;” these, and the jewels which follow, were required for the breastplate and the epaulets of the garments of the High Priest. How precisely did this work? The two onyx stones were affixed each to one of the shoulder pieces of the ephod. (Exodus 28,9 as well as 28,12) The stones collectively described as אבני מלואים, “jewels to be placed within the twelve settings provided for them on the breastplate of the High priest.” (Exodus 28,9). These jewels are referred to euphemistically on numerous occasions in the Bible, perhaps the best known example being Psalms 113,5-6: המגביהי לשבת המשפילי לראות בשמים ובארץ, “Who, though enthroned high, sees what is below, and Who sees what is in heaven and what is on earth.” You find an onyx stone mentioned also in Exodus 28,20, where it is one of the jewels on the breastplate of the High Priest.
