New Testament

1 Samuel 2:4-9 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

4. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

5. They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry have ceased: yea, the barren hath borne seven; and she that hath many children languisheth.

6. The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

7. The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, he also lifteth up.

8. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, he lifteth up the needy from the dunghill, to make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord'S, and he hath set the world upon them.

9. He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
