6 To heaven and its inhabitants, And minds what's done [below] on earth.
6 To heav'n and its inhabitants, And minds what's done [below] on earth.
7 He from the dust doth raise the poor, And [needy] from the dunghill brings;
8 That he like Princes may them make, Even [Princes] with his people's Kings.
9 He to the barren woman doth A [numerous] family afford; A joyful mother maketh her Of [many] Children: Praise the Lord.
