1 Samuel 2:8
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.

'He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the ash heap to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and on them he has set the world' — Hannah's prayer (1 Samuel 2:1–10), one of the earliest theological songs in the Deuteronomistic history, articulates the reversal theology that the Magnificat (Luke 1:46–55) will echo almost verbatim. The image of raising the poor from dust and ash heap (dunghill in some translations) represents the reversal of social fortune so complete that the displaced and despised occupy the highest seats of honor. The cosmological grounding — 'the pillars of the earth are the LORD's' — locates social reversals within the structure of cosmic sovereignty: the one who holds the earth's foundations is free to overturn human arrangements of power. The prayer concludes (verse 10) with the first use of 'his anointed' (meshicho, Messiah) in the Hebrew Bible, linking Hannah's reversal theology to the entire messianic trajectory.
