1 Samuel 2:1-7 ▼

1 Hannah prayed and said, “My heart rejoices and triumphs in the LORD; My horn (strength) is lifted up in the LORD, My mouth has opened wide [to speak boldly] against my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

2 “There is no one holy like the LORD, There is no one besides You, There is no Rock like our God.

3 “Do not go on boasting so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the LORD is a God of knowledge, And by Him actions are weighed (examined).

4 “The bows of the mighty are broken, But those who have stumbled equip themselves with strength.

5 “Those who were full hire themselves out for bread, But those who were hungry cease [to hunger]. Even the barren [woman] gives birth to seven, But she who has many children withers away.

6 “The LORD puts to death and makes alive; He brings down to Sheol (the grave) and raises up [from the grave].

7 “The LORD makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and He lifts up.
