6Jehovah putteth to death, and keepeth alive, He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.
7Jehovah dispossesseth, and He maketh rich, He maketh low, yea, He maketh high.
8He raiseth from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth up the needy, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to Jehovah [are] the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable world.
9The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.
10Jehovah -- broken down are His adversaries, Against them in the heavens He thundereth: Jehovah judgeth the ends of earth, And giveth strength to His king, And exalteth the horn of His anointed.`
11And Elkanah goeth to Ramath, unto his house, and the youth hath been serving Jehovah, [in] the presence of Eli the priest;
12and the sons of Eli [are] sons of worthlessness, they have not known Jehovah.
