The name of the Lord be blessed; from this time now, and till into the world (and forever).

The Lord is high above all folks (The Lord is high above all the nations); and his glory is above (the) heavens.

Who is as our Lord God, that dwelleth in high things; (Who is like the Lord our God, who liveth in high places/who liveth on high;)

and beholdeth meek things in heaven and in earth? (and yet who deigneth himself to look upon the things in the heavens, and the things on earth!)

Raising a needy man from the earth; and enhancing a poor man from drit. (Raising up the needy from the dust; and lifting up the poor out of the dirt.)

That he set him with princes; with the princes of his people. (So that they may sit with princes; yea, with the leaders of the people.)

Which maketh a barren woman dwell in the house; a glad mother of sons. (Who maketh a barren woman, who liveth in her home, into a happy mother of sons.)
