1 Samuel 2:1-10

1Then Hannah 1prayed and said, “My heart rejoices in the Lord; 2My 3horn is exalted in the Lord, My mouth 4speaks boldly against my enemies, Because 5I rejoice in Your salvation.26There is no one holy like the Lord, Indeed, 7there is no one besides You, 8Nor is there any rock like our God.3Do not go on 9boasting so very proudly, 10Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; 11For the Lord is a God of knowledge, 12And 13with Him actions are weighed.414The bows of the mighty are broken to pieces, 15But those who have stumbled strap on strength.5Those who were full hire themselves out for bread, But those who were hungry cease to be hungry. 16Even the infertile woman gives birth to seven, But 17she who has many children languishes.618The Lord puts to death and makes alive; 19He brings down to 20Sheol and brings up.721The Lord makes poor and rich; 22He humbles, He also exalts.823He raises the poor from the dust, 24He lifts the needy from the garbage heap 25To seat them with nobles, And He gives them a seat of honor as an inheritance; 26For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He set the world on them.927He watches over the feet of His godly ones, 28But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness; 29For not by might shall a person prevail.1030Those who contend with the Lord will be terrified; 31Against them He will thunder in the heavens, 32The Lord will judge the ends of the earth; 33And He will give strength to His king, 34And will exalt the 35horn of His anointed.”
