Selected verse

The LORD makes poor and makes rich.

He brings low, he also lifts up.

8

He raises up the poor out of the dust.

He lifts up the needy from the dunghill

to make them sit with princes

and inherit the throne of glory.

For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s.

He has set the world on them.

9

He will keep the feet of his holy ones,

but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness;

for no man will prevail by strength.

10

Those who strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces.

He will thunder against them in the sky.

“The LORD will judge the ends of the earth.

He will give strength to his king,

and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
