He raises the poor from the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to set them among the princes. He causes them to inherit a throne of glory (honor). The pillars of the earth are Jehovah's. He sets the world on them.

He lifts the poor from the dust. He lifts the needy from a garbage heap.

Those used to feasting on delicate food are wasted in the streets. Those who as children were dressed in purple are stretched out on the dust.
