²³ Who remembered us in our low estate; For his loving kindness endures forever;

⁷ He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;

¹⁷ He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, And has not despised their prayer.

³⁶ For Yahweh will judge his people, Repent himself for his servants; When he sees that [their] power is gone, There is none [remaining], shut up or left at large.

¹ God remembered Noah, all the animals, and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God made a wind to pass over the earth. The waters subsided.

⁵² He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.

⁴⁸ For he has looked at the humble state of his handmaid. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.

³ and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hittite.

⁴ As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren't salted at all, nor swaddled at all.

⁵ No eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.

⁶ When I passed by you, and saw you weltering in your blood, I said to you, [Though you are] in your blood, live; yes, I said to you, [Though you are] in your blood, live.

⁷ I caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet you were naked and bare.

⁸ Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, behold, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you, says the Lord Yahweh, and you became mine.

⁹ Then washed I you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I anointed you with oil.

¹⁰ I clothed you also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I girded you about with fine linen, and covered you with silk.

¹¹ I decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on your neck.

¹² I put a ring on your nose, and ear-rings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on your head.

¹³ Thus was you decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you did prosper to royal estate.

⁹ In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

⁶ Listen to my cry, For I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, For they are stronger than me.

⁶ Yahweh preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me.

⁴³ Many times he delivered them, But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.

⁴⁴ Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry.

⁴⁵ He remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

¹² For he will deliver the needy when he cries; The poor, who has no helper.

¹³ He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.

¹⁴ He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.

⁷ Yahweh makes poor, and makes rich: He brings low, he also lifts up.

⁸ He raises up the poor out of the dust, He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, Inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's, He has set the world on them.
