| 7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; | 7He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the garbage pile |

| 9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. | 9He gives the childless woman a household, making her the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah! |
