⁹ The Lord of hosts has ^(A)purposed it,
To ^[a]bring to dishonor the ^(B)pride of all glory,
To bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

¹⁰ Then she who is my enemy will see,
And ^(A)shame will cover her who said to me,
^(B)“Where is the Lord your God?”
My eyes will see her;
Now she will be trampled down
Like mud in the streets.

^51 (A)He has shown strength with His arm;
^(B)He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
^52 (C)He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.

²⁵ Therefore He knows their works;
He overthrows them in the night,
And they are crushed.
²⁶ He strikes them as wicked men
In the open sight of others,
²⁷ Because they ^(A)turned back from Him,
And ^(B)would not consider any of His ways,
²⁸ So that they ^(C)caused the cry of the poor to come to Him;
For He ^(D)hears the cry of the afflicted.
²⁹ When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble?
And when He hides His face, who then can see Him,
Whether it is against a nation or a man alone?—

⁷ The Lord ^(A)makes poor and makes rich;
^(B)He brings low and lifts up.
^8 (C)He raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,
^(D)To set them among princes
And make them inherit the throne of glory.
