1 Samuel 2

1 And Hannah prayed, and said,

My heart rejoiceth in the Lord,

Mine horn is exalted in the Lord:

My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies;

Because I rejoice in thy salvation.

2 There is none holy as the Lord:

For there is none beside thee:

Neither is there any rock like our God.

3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly;

Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth:

For the Lord is a God of knowledge,

And by him actions are weighed.

4 The bows of the mighty men are broken,

And they that stumbled are girt with strength.

5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread;

And they that were hungry ceased:

So that the barren hath born seven;

And she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

6 The Lord killeth, and maketh alive:

He bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

7 The Lord maketh poor, and maketh rich:

He bringeth low, and lifteth up.

8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,

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.

9 He will keep the feet of his saints,

And the wicked shall be silent in darkness;

For by strength shall no man prevail.

10 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.
