1. Hannah prayed, and said:“My heart exults in the Lord!My horn is exalted in the Lord.My mouth is enlarged over my enemies,because I rejoice in your salvation.
2. There is no one as holy as the Lord,For there is no one besides you,nor is there any rock like our God.
3. “Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly.Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth,For the Lord is a God of knowledge.By him actions are weighed.
4. “The bows of the mighty men are broken.Those who stumbled are armed with strength.
5. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread.Those who were hungry are satisfied.Yes, the barren has borne seven.She who has many children languishes.
6. “The Lord kills, and makes alive.He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.
7. The Lord makes poor, and makes rich.He brings low, he also lifts up.
8. He raises up the poor out of the dust.He lifts up the needy from the dunghill,To make them sit with princes,and inherit the throne of glory.For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s.He has set the world on them.
9. He will keep the feet of his holy ones,but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness;for no man shall prevail by strength.
