8 He raises the needy from the dust; from the ash heap lifts up the poor, To seat them with nobles and make a glorious throne their heritage. "For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and he has set the world upon them. [AG]

9 He guards the footsteps of his faithful ones, but the wicked shall perish in the darkness; for not by strength does one prevail.

10 The Lord's foes shall be shattered; the Most High in heaven thunders; the Lord judges the ends of the earth. May he give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed!" [AH]
