²⁷ You save the humble^(A)
    but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.^(B)

² Has not my hand made all these things,^(A)
    and so they came into being?”
declares the Lord.

“These are the ones I look on with favor:
    those who are humble and contrite in spirit,^(B)
    and who tremble at my word.^(C)

¹⁵ For this is what the high and exalted^(A) One says—
    he who lives forever,^(B) whose name is holy:
“I live in a high^(C) and holy place,
    but also with the one who is contrite^(D) and lowly in spirit,^(E)
to revive the spirit of the lowly
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.^(F)

⁵ Whoever slanders their neighbor^(A) in secret,
    I will put to silence;
whoever has haughty eyes^(B) and a proud heart,
    I will not tolerate.

²⁸ You save the humble,^(A)
    but your eyes are on the haughty^(B) to bring them low.^(C)

¹⁸ But God will never forget the needy;
    the hope^(A) of the afflicted^(B) will never perish.

⁵² He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.^(A)
53 He has filled the hungry with good things^(B)
    but has sent the rich away empty.
