Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people." — Psalms 113:7-8 (ASV)

See 1 Samuel 2:8, from which the verses are taken; and compare to Luke 1:52.

So the heathen poet sang of Jove (Horace, Odes 1.34, 1.35).
