1 Samuel 2:6-8

New Catholic Bible

⁶The Lord kills and brings to life.
    He brings down to Sheol, and lifts up.
⁷The Lord makes poor and makes rich,
    he humbles and he also exalts.
⁸He raises the poor from the dust,
    and from the refuse he lifts up the beggar,
To seat them among princes,
    that they might inherit a throne of glory.
For the Lord’s are the pillars of the earth,
    and he has set the world upon them.
