In context

6The LORD brings death and gives life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up.

7The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.

8He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world.

9He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness; for by his own strength shall no man prevail.

10Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder from heaven against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His king. He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”
