Context of Psalms 113:7
5Who is like the Lord our God, Who is enthroned on high, 6Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth? He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap, 8To make them sit with princes, With the princes of His people. 9He makes the barren woman abide in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!
