1 Samuel 2:1-11

Bible Text

[1] Hannah prayed, and said: My heart exults in Yahweh; My horn is exalted in Yahweh; My mouth is enlarged over my enemies; Because I rejoice in your salvation. [2] There is none holy as Yahweh; For there is none besides you, Neither is there any rock like our God. [3] Talk no more so exceeding proudly; Don't let arrogance come out of your mouth; For Yahweh is a God of knowledge, By him actions are weighed. [4] The bows of the mighty men are broken; Those who stumbled are girded with strength. [5] Those who were full have hired out themselves for bread; Those who were hungry have ceased [to hunger]: Yes, the barren has borne seven; She who has many children languishes. [6] Yahweh kills, and makes alive: He brings down to Sheol, and brings up. [7] Yahweh makes poor, and makes rich: He brings low, he also lifts up. [8] He raises up the poor out of the dust, He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, Inherit the throne of glory: For the pillars of the earth are Yahweh's, He has set the world on them. [9] He will keep the feet of his holy ones; But the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; For by strength shall no man prevail. [10] Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces; Against them will he thunder in the sky: Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth; He will give strength to his king, Exalt the horn of his anointed. [11] Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. The child did minister to Yahweh before Eli the priest.
