1 Samuel 2:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 You lift the poor and homeless
out of the garbage dump
and give them places of honor
in royal palaces.
You set the world on foundations,
and they belong to you.
9 You protect your loyal people,
but everyone who is evil
will die in darkness.
We cannot win a victory
by our own strength.
10 Our Lord, those who attack you
will be broken in pieces
when you fight back
with thunder from heaven.
You will judge the whole earth
and give power and strength
to your chosen king.
1 Samuel 2:8-10
New International Version
8 He raises(A) the poor(B) from the dust(C)
and lifts the needy(D) from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
and has them inherit a throne of honor.(E)
“For the foundations(F) of the earth are the Lord’s;
on them he has set the world.
9 He will guard the feet(G) of his faithful servants,(H)
but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.(I)
