2 No other god is like you.We're safer with youthan on a high mountain.
3 I can tell those proud people,“Stop your boasting!Nothing is hidden from the Lord,and he judges what we do.”
4 Our Lord, you breakthe bows of warriors,but you give strengthto everyone who stumbles.
5 People who oncehad plenty to eatmust now hire themselves outfor only a piece of bread.But you give the hungry morethan enough to eat.A woman did not have a child,and you gave her seven,but a woman who had manywas left with none.
6 You take away life,and you give life.You send people downto the world of the deadand bring them back again.
7 Our Lord, you are the onewho makes us rich or poor.You put some in high positionsand bring disgrace on others.
8 You lift the poor and homelessout of the rubbish dumpand give them places of honourin royal palaces.You set the world on foundations,and they belong to you.
