Psalms 75:7
"But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another."
"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 will keep the feet of His saints, And the wicked shall be silent in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail. The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; Out of heaven shall He thunder upon them: The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; And He shall give strength unto His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed.” PP 571.3"
Both passages deal with God's power to elevate and demote. While not a direct quote, the theme is similar.
"Then it was explained that God had this nation in His own hand, and would not suffer victories to be gained faster than He ordained, and would permit no more losses to the Northern men than in His wisdom He saw fit, to punish them for their sins. And had the Northern army at this time pushed the battle still further in their fainting, exhausted condition, the far greater struggle and destruction which awaited them would have caused great triumph in the South. God would not permit this, and sent an angel to interfere. The sudden falling back of the Northern troops is a mystery to all. They know not that God's hand was in the matter. 1T 267.1"
Both passages emphasize God's control over events and His ability to influence outcomes, raising up or putting down as He sees fit. The context of the EGW passage is a specific battle, while the Psalm is a general principle, but the underlying idea is the same.
