Verse 7 is found in chapter 113 of Psalms. Psalm 113 begins and ends with an invitation to praise the Lord and highlights his transcendent greatness.

The fertility granted to the barren woman represents an inversion of apparently irreversible circumstances. Divine transcendence is manifested here through compassion.

Levanta o pobre do pó, e do monturo levanta o necessitado,
他從灰塵裏抬舉貧寒的人, 從糞堆中提拔貧窮的人,
