1 Samuel 2:8-10
Living Bible
8 He lifts the poor from the dust—
Yes, from a pile of ashes—
And treats them as princes
Sitting in the seats of honor.
For all the earth is the Lord’s
And he has set the world in order.
9 He will protect his godly ones,
But the wicked shall be silenced in darkness.
No one shall succeed by strength alone.
10 Those who fight against the Lord shall be broken;
He thunders against them from heaven.
He judges throughout the earth.
He gives mighty strength to his king,
And gives great glory to his anointed one.”
1 Samuel 2:8-10
New International Version

and lifts the needy(D) from the ash heap;

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)
