I Samuel 2

Hannah’s Prayer

1 And Hannah *Gen. 24:26, 52prayed and said:

*Phil. 4:6"My heart rejoices in the Lord;

*1 Sam. 2:1–10; Ps. 97:11, 12; Luke 1:46–55My horn is exalted in the Lord.

I smile at my enemies,

Because I *Ps. 75:10; 89:17, 24; 92:10; 112:9rejoice in Your salvation.

2 "No*Ps. 9:14; 13:5; 35:9; Is. 12:2, 3 one is holy like the Lord,

For thereis*Ex. 15:11; Ps. 86:8; Rev. 15:4none besides You,

Nor isthere any *Deut. 4:35rock like our God.

3 "Talk no more so very proudly;

*Deut. 32:4, 30, 31; 2 Sam. 22:32; Ps. 18:2Let no arrogance come from your mouth,

For the Lordis the God of *Ps. 94:4knowledge;

And by Him actions are weighed.

4 "The*1 Sam. 16:7 bows of the mighty men are broken,

And those who stumbled are girded with strength.

5 Thosewhowere full have hired themselves out for bread,

And the hungry have ceased tohunger.

Even *Ps. 37:15; 46:9the barren has borne seven,

And *Ps. 113:9she who has many children has become feeble.

6 "The*Is. 54:1; Jer. 15:9Lord kills and makes alive;

He brings down to the grave and brings up.

7 The Lord*Deut. 32:39; 2 Kin. 5:7; Job 5:18; (Rev. 1:18)makes poor and makes rich;

*Deut. 8:17, 18; Job 1:21He brings low and lifts up.

8 *Job 5:11; Ps. 75:7; James 4:10He raises the poor from the dust

And lifts the beggar from the ash heap,

*Job 42:10–12; Ps. 75:7; 113:7; Luke 1:52To set them among princes

And make them inherit the throne of glory.

*Job 36:7; Ps. 113:8"For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,

And He has set the world upon them.

9 *Job 38:4–6; Ps. 75:3; 104:5He will guard the feet of His saints,

But the *Ps. 37:23, 24; 91:11, 12; 94:18; 121:3; Prov. 3:26; (1 Pet. 1:5)wicked shall be silent in darkness.

"For by strength no man shall prevail.

10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be *(Rom. 3:19)broken in pieces;

*Ex. 15:6; Ps. 2:9From heaven He will thunder against them.

*1 Sam. 7:10; 2 Sam. 22:14, 15; Ps. 18:13, 14The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.

*Ps. 96:13; 98:9; (Matt. 25:31, 32)"He will give *(Matt. 28:18)strength to His king,

And *Ps. 21:1, 7exalt the horn of His anointed."
