Who is like the Lord our God,

who is seated on high,

who looks far down

on the heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor from the dust

and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

to make them sit with princes,

with the princes of his people.

He gives the barren woman a home,

making her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the Lord!

Who is like the Lord our God,

the One who sits enthroned on high,

who stoops down to look

on the heavens and the earth?

and lifts the needy from the ash heap;

he seats them with princes,

with the princes of his people.

He settles the childless woman in her home

as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.

Who is like the Lord our God—

the one enthroned on high,

who stoops down to look

on the heavens and the earth?

and lifts the needy from the trash heap

in order to seat them with nobles—

with the nobles of his people.

He gives the childless woman a household,

making her the joyful mother of children.

Hallelujah!

NLTNew Living Translation

Who can be compared with the Lord our God,

who is enthroned on high?

He stoops to look down

on heaven and on earth.

and the needy from the garbage dump.

He sets them among princes,

even the princes of his own people!

He gives the childless woman a family,

making her a happy mother.

Praise the Lord!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Who is like Yahweh our God,

who is enthroned on high,

who condescends to look at

what is in the heavens and in the earth?

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.

He causes the barren woman of the house to dwell

as the happy mother of children.

Praise Yah!

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house,

And to be a joyful mother of children.

Praise ye the Lord.
