7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich;
qhe brings low and he exalts.
8 rHe raises up the poor from the dust;
he lifts the needy from the ash heap
to make them sit with princes
and inherit a seat of honor.
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
and on them he has set the world.
14 if my people who are rcalled by my name shumble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
11 zhe sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
7 gHe raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8 to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people.
6 qThe Lord lifts up the humble;1
he rcasts the wicked to the ground.
34 pToward the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he gives favor.1
15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,
who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy place,
and also with him who is of a dcontrite and lowly spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
24 And all the trees of the field shall know that I am the Lord; tI bring low the high tree, and make high the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree flourish. uI am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it.”
52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
and exalted those of humble estate;
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
