6
"The m LORD kills and makes alive;
He brings down to the grave and brings up.
7
The LORD n makes poor and makes rich;
o He brings low and lifts up.
8
p He raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,
q To set them among princes
And make them inherit the throne of glory.
r "For the pillars of the earth are the LORD's,
And He has set the world upon them.
9
s He will guard the feet of His saints,
But the t wicked shall be silent in darkness.
"For by strength no man shall prevail.
