1 Samuel 2:1-7 ▼

1 Then Hannah prayed: |My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is increased by the LORD. I will open my mouth to speak against my enemies, because I rejoice in your deliverance.

2 Indeed, there is no one holy like the LORD, indeed, there is no one besides you, there is no rock like our God.

3 Don't continue to talk proudly, and don't speak arrogantly, for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

4 The bows of warriors are shattered, but those who stumble are equipped with strength.

5 Those who had an abundance of bread now hire themselves out, and those who were hungry hunger no more. While the barren woman gives birth to seven children, she who had many children languishes.

6 The LORD kills and gives life, he brings people down to where the dead are and he raises them up.

7 The LORD makes people poor and he makes people rich, he brings them low, and he also exalts them.
