God lifts the poor and needy
    from dust and ashes,
and he lets them take part
    in ruling his people.
When a wife has no children,
    he blesses her with some,
and she is happy.
    Shout praises to the Lord!

He raises the poor(A) from the dust
    and lifts the needy(B) from the ash heap;
he seats them(C) with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
He settles the childless(D) woman in her home
    as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.
