ESVEnglish Standard Version

The Lord is high above all nations,

and his glory above the heavens!

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!

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The Lord is exalted over all the nations,

his glory above the heavens.

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?

He raises the poor from the dust

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The Lord is exalted above all the nations,

his glory above the heavens.

Who is like the Lord our God—

the one enthroned on high,

who stoops down to look

on the heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor from the dust

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

For the Lord is high above the nations;

his glory is higher than the heavens.

Who can be compared with the Lord our God,

who is enthroned on high?

He stoops to look down

on heaven and on earth.

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!

He gives the childless woman a family,

making her a happy mother.

Praise the Lord!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Yahweh is high above all nations;

his glory is above the heavens.

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!
