8 A Raiser of a lowly one from the dust;+

From the ashpit he lifts up a poor one,+

To make them sit with nobles; and a throne of glory+ he gives to them as a possession.+

For to Jehovah belong earth’s supports,+

And he places upon them the productive land.*

20 The king sent that he might release him,+

The ruler of the peoples, that he might let him loose.
