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

Who is like unto the LORD our God, that is enthroned on high,

6 et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra?

That looketh down low upon heaven and upon the earth?

Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;

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

That He may set him with princes, even with the princes of His people.

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

Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
