8. Formal Translation He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heaps, to seat them with nobles and grant them an inheritance of a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth belong to the LORD {Yahweh, Universal Ruler}, and He has set the world upon them. |
8. Dynamic Translation He lifts those who are poor up from the dirt and picks up those in need from the garbage heap, giving them a place to sit with leaders and allowing them to inherit a seat of honor. The foundations of the earth belong to the LORD {Yahweh, Power Over All}, and He has established the world upon them. |
