For this, the beloved ones praised and exalted God, the cherished ones sang psalms, songs and praises, blessings and thanksgivings to the King, the living and enduring God. High and exalted, great and awesome, He brings the haughty down to earth and raises the lowly to the heights, freeing captives and redeeming those in need, helping the poor and answering His people Israel when they cry out to Him.
