1 Samuel 2:8-10
Lexham English Bible
8 He raises up the poor from the dust.
From the ash heap he lifts up the needy,
to cause them to sit with noble people
and to cause them to inherit a seat of honor.
For the pillars of the earth belong to Yahweh
and he has set the inhabited world on them.
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful[a] ones,
but the wicked will be destroyed[b] in the darkness,
because a man will not prevail by his might.
10 Yahweh will shatter[c] his adversaries;[d]
he will thunder against them in the heavens.
Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth.
He will give strength to his king
and will exalt the might of his anointed one.
