1 Samuel 2:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ He ·protects [^Lguards the feet/steps of] those who are ·loyal [faithful] to him,
    but ·evil people [the wicked] will ·be silenced [disappear] in darkness.
    ·Power is not the key to success [^LFor no one succeeds/prevails by strength alone].
¹⁰ The Lord ·destroys [shatters] ·his enemies [those who oppose/fight against him];
    he will thunder ·in [from] heaven against them.
The Lord will judge ·all [throughout; ^Lthe ends of] the earth.
    He will give ·power [strength] to his king
    and ·make his appointed king strong [^Lexalt the horn of his anointed/anointed one; 2:1].”
