The study represents the theory of a literary and thematic dependency of Psalm 113 upon 1 Samuel 2:1-10. The ‘Song of Hannah’ (c. 7th Century bc ?) is older than Psalm 113 (c. 6th Century bc ?). Both psalms place emphasis upon the uniqueness of Jahwe. The theological skopos of Psalm 113 aims primarily at the affirmation of Jahwe as the incomparable God (v.5). This topic allows itself to present Psalm 113 from 1 Sam 2:1-10. The author of Psalm 113, with the help of ‘The Song of Hannah’ in 1 Sam 2:1-10 has made Ps 113 a hymn of the community of Jahwe about the incomparable God.

F.-L. Hossfeld/E. Zenger, Psalmen, 243; nach E. Zenger sprechen die literarischen Bezüge von Ps 113-118 für eine nachexilische Datierung um 400 v.Chr. (?): „Eigens für die Komposition dürften die Psalmen 114 und 117 geschaffen worden sein. Auch Ps 118, ein ursprünglich individueller Dankpsalm, wird seine nunmehr vorliegende Gestalt erst bei seiner Einfügung in die Komposition erhalten haben. Ebenso geht Ps 115,1c . . . auf die Komposition zurück.“
