⁴ Hear this, you who trample the needy
    and do away with the poor^(A) of the land,^(B)

“When will the New Moon^(C) be over
    that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath be ended
    that we may market^(D) wheat?”^(E)—
skimping on the measure,
    boosting the price
    and cheating^(F) with dishonest scales,^(G)
6 buying the poor^(H) with silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals,
    selling even the sweepings with the wheat.^(I)

Praise the Lord, you his servants;^(B)
    praise the name of the Lord.
² Let the name of the Lord be praised,^(C)
    both now and forevermore.^(D)
3 From the rising of the sun^(E) to the place where it sets,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.

⁴ The Lord is exalted^(F) over all the nations,
    his glory above the heavens.^(G)
5 Who is like the Lord our God,^(H)
    the One who sits enthroned^(I) on high,^(J)
6 who stoops down to look^(K)
    on the heavens and the earth?

⁷ He raises the poor^(L) from the dust
    and lifts the needy^(M) from the ash heap;
⁸ he seats them^(N) with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
⁹ He settles the childless^(O) woman in her home
    as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.
