1And HannahH2584 prayedH6419, and saidH559:

My heartH3820 exulteth in Jehovah;My hornH7161 is exaltedH7311 in Jehovah;My mouthH6310 is enlargedH7337 over mine enemiesH341;Because I rejoiceH8055 in thy salvationH3444.2There is none holyH6918 as Jehovah;For there is none besides thee,Neither is there any rockH6697 like our GodH430.3Talk no more so exceeding proudly;Let not arrogancy comeH3318 out of your mouthH6310;For Jehovah is a GodH410 of knowledgeH1844,And by him actions are weighedH8505.4The bowsH7198 of the mightyH1368 menH1368 are broken;And they that stumbledH3782 are girdedH247 with strengthH2428.5They that were full have hiredH7936 out themselves for breadH3899;And they that were hungryH7457 have ceasedH2308to hunger:Yea, the barrenH6135 hath borneH3205 sevenH7651;And she that hath manyH7227 children languisheth.6Jehovah killeth, and maketh aliveH2421:He bringeth downH3381 to SheolH7585, and bringeth up.7Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh richH6238:He bringeth lowH8213, he alsoH637 lifteth up.8He raiseth up the poor out of the dustH6083,He lifteth up the needyH34 from the dunghill,To makeH7896 them sitH3427 with princes,And inheritH5157 the throneH3678 of gloryH3519:For the pillars of the earthH776 are Jehovah’s,And he hath setH6965 the worldH8398 upon them.9He will keepH8104 the feetH7272 of his holy onesH2623;But the wickedH7563 shall be put to silence in darknessH2822;For by strengthH3581 shall no manH376 prevailH1396.10They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces;Against them will he thunderH7481 in heavenH8064:Jehovah will judgeH1777 the endsH657 of the earthH776;And he will giveH5414 strengthH5797 unto his kingH4428,And exaltH7311 the hornH7161 of his anointedH4899.
