Psalms 113:8
6 He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.
7 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump
to seat them with nobles, with the princes of His people.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
