Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

MSG ^(6-10)God brings death and God brings life,
  brings down to the grave and raises up.
God brings poverty and God brings wealth;
  he lowers, he also lifts up.
He puts poor people on their feet again;
  he rekindles burned-out lives with fresh hope,
Restoring dignity and respect to their lives—
  a place in the sun!
For the very structures of earth are God’s;
  he has laid out his operations on a firm foundation.
He protectively cares for his faithful friends, step by step,
  but leaves the wicked to stumble in the dark.
  No one makes it in this life by sheer muscle!
God’s enemies will be blasted out of the sky,
  crashed in a heap and burned.
God will set things right all over the earth,
  he’ll give strength to his king,
  he’ll set his anointed on top of the world!

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

יְהוָ֖ה מוֹרִ֣ישׁ וּ⁠מַעֲשִׁ֑יר מַשְׁפִּ֖יל אַף־מְרוֹמֵֽם

YHWH makes_poor and,makes_rich brings_low also/though exalts

Hannah is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [Yahweh is making some people poor and making other people rich, bringing some people down yet bringing other people up]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מַשְׁפִּ֖יל אַף־מְרוֹמֵֽם

brings_low also/though exalts

Hannah is speaking as if people’s social status were a physical location that they could move down from or up to. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [lowering some people’s status yet raising other people’s status]
