5 - Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,
6 - who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
7 - He raises the poor from the dust and 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 home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord.
