1 Samuel 2

1 And Hannah prays and says: "My heart has exulted in YHWH, || My horn has been high in YHWH, || My mouth has been large over my enemies, || For I have rejoiced in Your salvation. 2 There is none holy like YHWH, || For there is none except You, || And there is no rock like our God. 3 You do not multiply—you speak haughtily—The old saying goes out from your mouth, || For YHWH [is] a God of knowledge, || And actions are weighed by Him. 4 Bows of the mighty are broken, || And the stumbling have girded on strength. 5 The satiated hired themselves for bread, || And the hungry have ceased. While the barren has borne seven, || And she abounding with sons has languished. 6 YHWH puts to death, and keeps alive, || He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. 7 YHWH dispossesses, and He makes rich, || He makes low, indeed, He makes high. 8 He raises the poor from the dust, || He lifts up the needy from a dunghill, || To cause [them] to sit with nobles, || Indeed, He causes them to inherit a throne of glory, || For the fixtures of earth [are] of YHWH, || And He sets the habitable world on them. 9 He keeps the feet of His saints, || And the wicked are silent in darkness, || For man does not become mighty by power. 10 YHWH—His adversaries are broken down, || He thunders against them in the heavens: YHWH judges the ends of the earth, || And gives strength to His king, || And exalts the horn of His anointed."
