2 “There is none holy as the Lord,for there is none besides You,and there is no rock like our God.
3 “Do not multiply proud speech,nor let arrogance come out of your mouth,for the Lord is the God of knowledge,and by Him actions are examined.
4 “The bows of the mighty are broken,but those who stumbled are girded with strength.
5 Those that were full have hired out themselves for bread,and those that were hungry ceased to hunger.Even the barren has borne seven,and she that has many children wastes away.
6 “The Lord kills and makes alive;He brings down to the grave and brings up.
7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich;He brings low and lifts up.
8 He raises up the poor out of the dustand lifts up the oppressed from the dunghillto make them sit with princesand inherit a throne of glory. “For the pillars of the earth belong to the Lord,and He has set the world upon them.
