The LORD Exalts the Humble
(1 Samuel 1:1–8)
1Hallelujah!a
Give praise, O servants of the LORD;
2Blessed be the name of the LORD
3From where the sun rises to where it sets,
the name of the LORD is praised.
4The LORD is exalted over all the nations,
5Who is like the LORD our God,
6He humbles Himself to behold
7He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the dump
8to seat them with nobles,
with the princes of His people.
9He settles the barren woman in her home
as a joyful mother to her children.
Hallelujah!
