1st Samuel 2

1 And Hannah worshipped, and said, Mine heart fully joyed in the Lord, and mine horn is raised in my God; my mouth is alarged on mine enemies, for I was glad in thine health.

2 None is holy as the Lord is; for none other is, except thee, and none is strong as our God.

3 Do not ye multiply to speak high things, and have glory therein; eld [or old] things go away from your mouth; for God is Lord of knowings, and thoughts be made ready to him.

4 The bow of strong men is over-come, and feeble men be girded with strength.

5 Men full-filled before, setted them-selves to hire for loaves, and hungry men be filled; while the barren woman childed full many, and she that had many sons, was made sick.

6 The Lord slayeth, and quickeneth; he leadeth forth to hells, and bringeth again.

7 The Lord maketh poor, and he maketh rich; he maketh low, and he raiseth up.

8 He raiseth a needy man from powder, and he raiseth a poor man from drit, that he sit with princes, and hold the seat of glory; for the ends of [the] earth be of the Lord, and he hath set the world on those [or them].

9 He shall keep the feet of his saints, and wicked men shall be still altogether in darknesses; for a man shall not be made strong in his own strength.

10 [The] Adversaries of the Lord shall dread him, and from heavens he shall thunder upon them; the Lord shall deem the ends of [the] earth, and he shall give lordship to his king, and he shall enhance the horn, that is, power, of his Christ, or his anointed.
