   The Lord is high above all nations: and his glory above the heavens.

5. 5

   Who is as the Lord, our God, who dwelleth on high: 6 and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

6. 6

   And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

   Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

   Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
