1 Samuel 2:8-10

Contemporary English Version

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.
