2 There is none holy as Adonai, for there is none besides You, nor is there any rock like our God.
3 Boast no more so proudly— insolence comes out of your mouth. For Adonai is the all-knowing God, and by Him deeds are weighed.
4 The bows of the mighty are broken, but the stumbling are girded with strength.
5 Those full hire themselves for bread, but those starving hunger no more. Even the barren gives birth to seven, but she with many sons languishes.
6 Adonai causes death and makes alive, He brings down to Sheol and raises up.
7 Adonai makes poor and makes rich, He brings low and also lifts up.
8 He raises the helpless from the dust. He lifts the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with nobles, granting them a seat of honor. For the earth’s pillars are Adonai’s, and He has set the world on them.
