God lifts up the poor from the dirt
    and raises up the needy from the garbage pile
        to seat them with leaders—
        with the leaders of his own people!
    God nests the once barren woman at home—
        now a joyful mother with children!

Praise the Lord!

    with the princes of his people.
He settles the childless(D) woman in her home
    as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.
