⁶ “Yahweh kills, and he gives life.
He makes people go down to the grave, and he raises them up again.
⁷ Yahweh causes poverty and grants wealth.
    He humbles people; he also promotes them.
⁸ He raises the poor from the dust.
    He lifts the needy from the trash heap
        in order to make them sit with nobles
            and even to make them inherit a glorious throne.

“The pillars of the earth are Yahweh’s.
    He has set the world on them.
