2:8 He lifts the weak 9 from the dust;
he raises 10 the poor from the ash heap
to seat them with princes
and to bestow on them an honored position. 11
The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord,
and he has placed the world on them.
2:9 He watches over 12 his holy ones, 13
but the wicked are made speechless in the darkness,
for it is not by one’s own strength that one prevails.
72:12 For he will rescue the needy 14 when they cry out for help,
and the oppressed 15 who have no defender.
72:13 He will take pity 16 on the poor and needy;
the lives of the needy he will save.
