He Lifteth (1 of 2)
Jesse M. Hendley
Psalm 113:7-8
From the lowest depths to the highest heights. "This text is found in Psalm 113:7,8, but first I want to read this great Psalm. If you have your Bible I would like for you to turn with me to this great passage. It begins with "Praise ye the Lord," in Hebrew "Hallelujah".

Angels we consider to be perfect beings, and they are in a sense but compared to God they are not perfect.
