⁴ Hear this, you who trample on the needy,
    and bring to ruin the poor of the land,^(A)
5 saying, “When will the new moon be over
    so that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath,
    so that we may offer wheat for sale?
We will make the ephah smaller and the shekel heavier
    and practice deceit with false balances,^(B)
6 buying the poor for silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals
    and selling the sweepings of the wheat.”^(C)

⁷ The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.^(D)

² Blessed be the name of the Lord
    from this time on and forevermore.^(B)
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.^(C)
4 The Lord is high above all nations
    and his glory above the heavens.^(D)

⁵ Who is like the Lord our God,
    who is seated on high,^(E)
6 who looks far down
    on the heavens and the earth?^(F)
7 He raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
⁸ to make them sit with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
⁹ He gives the barren woman a home,
    making her the joyous mother of children.
Praise the Lord!^(G)

there is one God;
    there is also one mediator between God and humankind,
Christ Jesus, himself human,^(D)
6     who gave himself a ransom for all
