What distinguishes God from humans is not the infinity of his creation, but his way of being with us, his preference for what many despise. God likes to choose poor instruments to achieve his great deeds of grace.
1Alleluia!
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord!
2Blessed be the name of the Lord
now and forever!
3From eastern lands to the western islands,
may the name of the Lord be praised!
4The Lord is exalted over the nations,
his glory above the heavens.
5Who is like the Lord our God,
who sits enthroned on high,
6but also bends down to see
on earth as in heaven?
7He lifts up the poor from the dust
and the needy from the ash heap.
8He makes them sit with princes,
with rulers of his people.
9He gives a home to the barren woman,
and makes her a joyful mother.
Praise the Lord!
