with the princes of his people.

For the Lord is high above the nations;

his glory is higher than the heavens.

Who can be compared with the Lord our God,

He lifts the poor from the dust

and the needy from the garbage dump.

He sets them among princes,

even the princes of his own people!

his glory is above the heavens.

Who is like Yahweh our God,

who is enthroned on high,

He raises the helpless from the dust;

he lifts the needy from the ash heap,

to seat them with princes,

with the princes of his people.

KJV 1900King James Version

The Lord is high above all nations,

And his glory above the heavens.

Who is like unto the Lord our God,

Who dwelleth on high,

Who humbleth himself to behold

The things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,

And lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

That he may set him with princes,

Even with the princes of his people.
