He raises up the poor out of the dust, He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, Inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh`s, He has set the world on them.

God's Sovereign Reversals
Commentators emphasize that this verse is a powerful declaration of God's sovereignty. Hannah's song celebrates that God is the one who dramatically reverses human fortunes, lifting the poor and needy from the lowest places to positions of honor. As Matthew Henry suggests, this truth should lead believers to contentment in poverty or thankfulness in wealth, recognizing God's hand in all circumstances.
