The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, and lifteth up. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He hath set the world upon them. (1 Sam. 2:7‑8)
Yet setteth He the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving-kindness of the Lord. (Psa. 107:41,43)
And did the Holy and the Just,
   The Sovereign of the skies,
Stoop down to man’s estate and dust
   That guilty worms might rise?
Jesus, my soul adoring bends
   To love, so full, so free;
Thy Word declares that love extends,
   In saving power, to me.
