He raises the poor from the dust.
    He lifts the needy from the trash heap
        in order to make them sit with nobles
            and even to make them inherit a glorious throne.

“The pillars of the earth are Yahweh’s.
    He has set the world on them.
He safeguards the steps of his faithful ones,
    but wicked people are silenced in darkness
        because humans cannot succeed by their own strength.

10 “Those who oppose Yahweh are broken into pieces.
    He thunders at them from the heavens.
Yahweh judges the ends of the earth.
    He gives strength to his King
        and lifts the head of his Messiah.”[a]
