4The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.
5Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,
6That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?
7He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,
8To set him among princes, Even among the princes of his people.
9He causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
