4 The Lord is exalted above all the nations,ah

his glory above the heavens.ai

5 Who is like the Lord our God—

the one enthroned on high,aj

6 who stoops down to look

on the heavens and the earth?ak

7 He raises the poor from the dust

and lifts the needy from the trash heapal

8 in order to seat them with nobles—

with the nobles of his people.am

9 He gives the childless woman a household,

making her the joyful mother of children.an

Hallelujah!
