4 The Lord is exalted over all the nations,his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,the One who sits enthroned on high,
6 who stoops down to lookon the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dustand lifts the needy from the ash heap;
8 he seats them with princes,with the princes of his people.
9 He settles the childless woman in her homeas a happy mother of children.Praise the Lord.
