6 JEHOVAH putteth to death, and keepeth alive, He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.

7 JEHOVAH dispossesseth, and He maketh rich, He maketh low, yea, He maketh high.

8 He raiseth from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth up the needy, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to JEHOVAH [are] the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable world.
