(A)The Lord puts to death and makes alive;
(B)He brings down to [a]Sheol and brings up.
(C)The Lord makes poor and rich;
(D)He humbles, He also exalts.
(E)He raises the poor from the dust,
(F)He lifts the needy from the garbage heap
(G)To seat them with nobles,
And He gives them a seat of honor as an inheritance;
(H)For the pillars of the earth are the Lords,
And He set the world on them.
