⁸ He raiseth from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth up the needy, To cause 'them' to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to Jehovah 'are' the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable world.

⁸ He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, placing them in seats of honor. For all the earth is the Lord 's, and he has set the world in order.

⁸ " He raises the poor from the dust , He lifts the needy from the ash heap To make them sit with nobles , And inherit a seat of honor ; For the pillars of the earth are the Lord'S , And He set the world on them.
