Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

5 Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat,

Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;

6 et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra?

Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,

8 Ut collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui.

To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.

9 Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
