1 Samuel 2:9

Hannah's Triumphant Prayer

⁸ He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the garbage pile.
He seats them with noblemen
and gives them a throne of honor.
For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s;
He has set the world on them.
⁹ He guards the steps of His faithful ones,
but the wicked perish in darkness,
for a man does not prevail by his own strength.
¹⁰ Those who oppose the Lord will be shattered;
He will thunder in the heavens against them.
The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.
He will give power to His king;
He will lift up the horn of His anointed.
