1 Samuel 2:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 He raises the poor from the dust(A)
and lifts the needy from the garbage pile.(B)
He seats them with noblemen(C)
and gives them a throne of honor.[a]
For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s;(D)
He has set the world on them.(E)
9 He guards the steps[b] of His faithful ones,(F)
but the wicked perish in darkness,(G)
for a man does not prevail by his own strength.(H)
10 Those who oppose the Lord will be shattered;[c](I)
He will thunder in the heavens against them.(J)
The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.(K)
He will give power to His king;
He will lift up the horn of His anointed.(L)
