1 Samuel 2:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ The Lord makes poor and makes rich,
    he humbles and he also exalts.
⁸ He 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.
⁹ He will guard the feet of his saints,
    but the wicked will be cut off in the darkness,
    for by strength none shall prevail.
