1 Samuel 2:1-10

1 Then Hannah ^aprayed and said, “My heart exults in the Lord;
^bMy ^{▼▼ I.e. strength}horn is exalted in the Lord,
My mouth ^{▼▼ Lit is enlarged}speaks boldly against my enemies,
Because ^eI rejoice in Your salvation.
2 ^f“There is no one holy like the Lord,
Indeed, ^gthere is no one besides You,
^hNor is there any rock like our God.
3 ^{▼▼ Lit Talk much}“Boast no more so very proudly,
^jDo not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
^kFor the Lord is a God of knowledge,
^lAnd with Him actions are weighed.
4 ^m“The bows of the mighty are shattered,
ⁿBut the feeble gird on strength.
5 “Those who were full hire themselves out for bread,
But those who were hungry cease to hunger.
^oEven the barren gives birth to seven,
But ^pshe who has many children languishes.
6 ^q“The Lord kills and makes alive;
^rHe brings down to ^{▼▼ I.e. the nether world}Sheol and raises up.
7 ^t“The Lord makes poor and rich;
^uHe brings low, He also exalts.
8 ^v“He raises the poor from the dust,
^wHe lifts the needy from the ash heap
^xTo make them sit with nobles,
And inherit a seat of honor;
^yFor the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
And He set the world on them.
9 ^z“He keeps the feet of His godly ones,
^aaBut the wicked ones are silenced in darkness;
^abFor not by might shall a man prevail.
10 ^ac“Those who contend with the Lord will be shattered;
^adAgainst them He will thunder in the heavens,
^aeThe Lord will judge the ends of the earth;
^afAnd He will give strength to His king,
^agAnd will exalt the ^{▼▼ I.e. strength}horn of His anointed.”
