^8 (A)He raises the poor from the dust,
^(B)He lifts the needy from the garbage heap
^(C)To seat them with nobles,
And He gives them a seat of honor as an inheritance;
^(D)For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
And He set the world on them.

⁶ It is He who ^(A)shakes the earth from its place,
And its ^(B)pillars tremble;

⁷ He ^(A)stretches out the north over empty space
And hangs the earth on nothing.

³ The ^(A)earth and all who inhabit it ^[a]are unsteady;
It is I who have firmly set its ^(B)pillars. Selah
