1 Samuel 2:2-8
2There is none holyH6918 as Jehovah;For there is none besides thee,Neither is there any rockH6697 like our GodH430.3Talk no more so exceeding proudly;Let not arrogancy comeH3318 out of your mouthH6310;For Jehovah is a GodH410 of knowledgeH1844,And by him actions are weighedH8505.4The bowsH7198 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 are broken;And they that stumbledH3782 are girdedH247 with strengthH2428.5They that were full have hiredH7936 out themselves for breadH3899;And they that were hungryH7457 have ceasedH2308to hunger:Yea, the barrenH6135 hath borneH3205 sevenH7651;And she that hath manyH7227 children languisheth.6Jehovah killeth, and maketh aliveH2421:He bringeth downH3381 to SheolH7585, and bringeth up.7Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh richH6238:He bringeth lowH8213, he alsoH637 lifteth up.8He raiseth up the poor out of the dustH6083,He lifteth up the needyH34 from the dunghill,To makeH7896 them sitH3427 with princes,And inheritH5157 the throneH3678 of gloryH3519:For the pillars of the earthH776 are Jehovah’s,And he hath setH6965 the worldH8398 upon them.
