52 j he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
l and exalted those of humble estate;
11 he e sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
7 but it is u God who executes judgment,
v putting down one and lifting up another.
40 h he pours contempt on princes
and i makes them wander j in trackless wastes;
41 but k he raises up the needy out of affliction
and l makes their families like flocks.
7 He m raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8 to make them n sit with princes,
with the princes of his people.
6 The Lord v lifts up the humble;
he casts the wicked to the ground.
26 thus says the Lord God: Remove the turban and take off the crown. Things shall not remain as they are. j Exalt that which is low, and bring low that which is exalted.
10 l Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
