  1. 4“The bows of the mighty men are broken.
    Those who stumbled are armed with strength.

    Those who were hungry are satisfied.

    She who has many children languishes.

    He lifts up the needy from the dunghill
    to make them sit with princes
    and inherit the throne of glory.
    For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh’s.
    He has set the world on them.
