1 Samuel 2:8 Context
6The Lord killeth and maketh aliue, he bringeth downe to the graue, and bringeth vp. 7The Lord maketh poore, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth vp. 8He raiseth vp the poore out of the dust, and lifteth vp the begger from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lords, and hee hath set the world vpon them. 9He will keepe the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall bee silent in darkenesse; for by strength shall no man preuaile. 10The aduersaries of the Lord shalbe broken to pieces: out of heauen shal he thunder vpon them: the Lord shall iudge the ends of the earth, and he shal giue strength vnto his king, and exalt the horne of his Anointed.
