He gathers up the poor from their dirt floors,
    pulls the needy from the trash heaps,
And places them among heads of state,
    seated next to the rulers of His people where they cannot be ignored.
Into the home of the childless bride,
    He sends children who are, for her, a cause of happiness beyond measure.
Praise the Eternal!

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.
