He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump.

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the trash heap

He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the garbage heap,

He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

But he lifted needy people out of their suffering. He made their families increase like flocks of sheep.

The Lord makes people poor. He also makes people rich. He brings people down. He also lifts people up.He raises poor people up from the trash pile. He lifts needy people out of the ashes. He lets them sit with princes. He gives them places of honor.“ The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord. On them he has set the world.

Many people who lie dead in their graves will wake up. Some will rise up to life that will never end. Others will rise up to shame that will never end.Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky. Those who lead many others to do what is right will be like the stars for ever and ever.

He lifts up people who are lowly in spirit. He lifts up those who are sad. He keeps them safe.

The Lord and King says,“ Take off your turban. Remove your crown. Things will not be as they were in the past. Those who are considered not important will be honored. And those who are honored will be considered not important.Jerusalem will fall. I will destroy it. It will not be rebuilt until the true king comes. After all, the kingdom belongs to him. I will give it to him.

He has brought down rulers from their thrones. But he has lifted up people who are not considered important.He has filled with good things those who are hungry. But he has sent away empty those who are rich.

My dear brothers and sisters, listen to me. Hasn’t God chosen those who are poor in the world’s eyes to be rich in faith? Hasn’t he chosen them to receive the kingdom? Hasn’t he promised it to those who love him?

“ So tell my servant David,‘ The Lord who rules over all says,“ I took you away from the grasslands. That’s where you were taking care of your father’s sheep and goats. I made you ruler over my people Israel.I have been with you everywhere you have gone. I have destroyed all your enemies. Now I will make you famous. Your name will be just as respected as the names of the most important people on earth.

God saves needy people from the cutting words of their enemies. He saves them from their power.So poor people have hope. And God shuts the mouths of those who don’t treat others fairly.

He doesn’t keep alive those who are evil. Instead, he gives suffering people their rights.He watches over those who do what is right. He puts them on thrones as if they were kings. He honors them forever.

Lord, your people who have died will live again. Their bodies will rise from the dead. Let those who lie in the grave wake up and shout for joy. You give life, Lord, like the dew of the morning. So the earth will give up its dead people.

The water of the flood is a picture. It is a picture of the baptism that now saves you too. This baptism has nothing to do with removing dirt from your body. Instead, it promises God that you will keep a clear sense of right and wrong. This baptism saves you by the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead.He has gone into heaven. He is at God’s right hand. Angels, authorities and powers are under his control.

No one from east or west or north or south can judge themselves.God is the one who judges. He says to one person,“ You are guilty.” To another he says,“ You are not guilty.”

All the trees in the forest will know that I bring down tall trees. I make short trees grow tall. I dry up green trees. And I make dry trees green.”“‘ I have spoken. I will do this. I am the Lord.’ ”

He got part of a broken pot. He used it to scrape his skin. He did it while he was sitting in ashes.

My mouth is dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You bring me down to the edge of the grave.

God showed. He showed this when he raised Christ from the dead. God seated him at his right hand in his heavenly kingdom.There Christ sits far above all who rule and have authority. He also sits far above all powers and kings. He is above every name that is appealed to in this world and in the world to come.

David saw what was coming. So he spoke about the Messiah rising from the dead. He said that the Messiah would not be left in the place of the dead. His body wouldn’t rot in the ground.God has raised this same Jesus back to life. We are all witnesses of this.Jesus has been given a place of honor at the right hand of God. He has received the Holy Spirit from the Father. This is what God had promised. It is Jesus who has poured out what you now see and hear.

“ King Saul, who are you trying to catch? Who do you think you are chasing? I’m nothing but a dead dog or a flea!
