⁶ For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,
    but the haughty he perceives from far away.^(A)

¹⁵ For thus says the high and lofty one
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
I dwell in the high and holy place
    and also with those who are contrite and humble in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.^(A)

⁷ The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
    he brings low; he also exalts.^(A)
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.^(B)

³⁴ Toward the scorners he is scornful,
    but to the humble he shows favor.^(A)

² All these things my hand has made,
    so all these things are mine,^[a]
            says the Lord.
But this is the one to whom I will look,
    to the humble and contrite in spirit
    who trembles at my word.^(A)
