1 Samuel 2:6-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 The Lord kills and brings to life;
he brings down to Sheol and raises up.(A)
7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
he brings low; he also exalts.(B)
8 He raises up the poor from the dust;
he lifts the needy from the ash heap
to make them sit with princes
and inherit a seat of honor.
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
and on them he has set the world.(C)
9 He will guard the feet of his faithful ones,
but the wicked will perish in darkness,
for not by might does one prevail.(D)
10 The Lord! His adversaries will be shattered;
the Most High[a] will thunder in heaven.
The Lord will judge the ends of the earth;
he will give strength to his king
and exalt the power of his anointed.”(E)
