For the Lord hears the poor, and does not spurn those in bondage.
Then God said: Let the water teem with an abundance of living creatures, and on the earth let birds fly beneath the dome of the sky.
Heeding the plea of the lowly, not scorning their prayer.
Let everything that has breath give praise to the Lord! Hallelujah!
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea and what fills it resound;
Sing out, heavens, and rejoice, earth, break forth into song, you mountains, For the Lord comforts his people and shows mercy to his afflicted.
Yes, in joy you shall go forth, in peace you shall be brought home; Mountains and hills shall break out in song before you, all trees of the field shall clap their hands.
