7 “יהוה makes poor and makes rich, He brings low and lifts up.

8 “He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the dunghill, to sit with princes, and make them inherit a throne of esteem. For the supports of the earth belong to יהוה, and He has set the world upon them.

9 “He guards the feet of His lovingly-commited ones, but the wrong are silent in darkness, for man does not become mighty by power.
