6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive:he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich:he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill,to set them among princes,and to make them inherit the throne of glory:for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's,and he hath set the world upon them.
9 He will keep the feet of his saints,and the wicked shall be silent in darkness;for by strength shall no man prevail.
10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces;out of heaven shall he thunder upon them:the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth;and he shall give strength unto his king,and exalt the horn of his anointed.
11 And Elka´nah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the Lord before Eli the priest.
12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Be´li-al; they knew not the Lord.
