6 ADONAI causes death and makes alive, He brings down to Sheol and raises up.

7 ADONAI makes poor and makes rich, He brings low and also lifts up.

8 He raises the helpless from the dust. He lifts the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with nobles, granting them a seat of honor. For the earth’s pillars are ADONAI’s, and He has set the world on them.
