Psalms 113:6-9

113:6 He bends down to look ¹ 

at the sky and the earth.

113:7 He raises the poor from the dirt,

and lifts up the needy from the garbage pile, ² 

113:8 that he might seat him with princes,

with the princes of his people.

113:9 He makes the barren woman of the family ³ 

a happy mother of children. ⁴ 

Praise the Lord!
