And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,
bTo set them among princes
And make them inherit the throne of glory.
c“For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
And He has set the world upon them.
But the bwicked shall be silent in darkness.
“For by strength no man shall prevail.
bFrom heaven He will thunder against them.
cThe Lord will judge the ends of the earth.
d“He will give estrength to His king,
And fexalt the horn of His anointed.”

1 Samuel 2:9
He will keep the feet of his saints - He will order and direct all their goings, and keep them from every evil way.
The wicked shall be silent in darkness - The Targum understands this of their being sent to the darkness of hell; they shall be slain.
By strength shall no man prevail - Because God is omnipotent, and no power can be successfully exerted against him.
