1 Samuel 2:7-10

7The Lord impoverishes and makes wealthy; he humbles and he exalts.

8He lifts the weak from the dust; he raises the poor from the ash heap to seat them with princes and to bestow on them an honored position. The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord, and he has placed the world on them.

9He watches over his holy ones, but the wicked are made speechless in the darkness, for it is not by one’s own strength that one prevails.

10The Lord shatters his adversaries; he thunders against them from the heavens. The Lord executes judgment to the ends of the earth. He will strengthen his king and exalt the power of his anointed one.”
