The LORD is high above all nations, And His glory above the heavens.

Who is like the LORD our God, Who is enthroned on high,
6
Who humbles Himself to regard The heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor out of the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8
That He may seat them with princes, With the princes of His people.

He makes the barren woman live in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
