1 Samuel 2:8-10

New International Reader's Version

“The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord.
    On them he has set the world.
⁹ He guards the paths of his faithful servants.
    But evil people will lie silent in their dark graves.

“People don’t win just because they are strong.
¹⁰     Those who oppose the Lord will be totally destroyed.
The Most High God will thunder from heaven.
    The Lord will judge the earth from one end to the other.

“He will give power to his king.
    He will give honor to his anointed one.”
