He raiseth the needy out of the dust, and lifteth up the [a]poor out of the dung,

That he may set him with the princes, even with the princes of his people.

He maketh the barren woman to dwell with a family, and a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 113:7 By preferring the poor to high honor and giving the barren children, he showeth that God worketh not only in his Church by ordinary means, but also by miracles.

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.
