He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

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

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

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [And to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye Jehovah.
