Hannah’s Song of Thanksgiving

1 Then Hannah ^aprayed and said,

“My heart rejoices 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 “ ^fThere is no one holy like the Lord,
Indeed, ^gthere is no one besides You,
^hNor is there any rock like our God.
3 “Do not go on ^{▼▼Lit talk much}boasting so very proudly,
^jDo not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
^kFor the Lord is a God of knowledge,
^lAnd ^{▼▼Or disgraceful actions have no place}with Him actions are weighed.
4 “ ⁿThe bows of the mighty are broken to pieces,
^oBut those who have stumbled strap on strength.
5 “Those who were full hire themselves out for bread,
But those who were hungry cease to be hungry.
^pEven the infertile woman gives birth to seven,
But ^qshe who has many children languishes.
6 “ ^rThe Lord puts to death and makes alive;
^sHe brings down to ^{▼▼I.e., the netherworld}Sheol and brings up.
7 “ ^uThe Lord makes poor and rich;
^vHe humbles, He also exalts.
8 “ ^wHe raises the poor from the dust,
^xHe lifts the needy from the garbage heap
^yTo seat them with nobles,
And He gives them a seat of honor as an inheritance;
^zFor the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
And He set the world on them.
9 “ ^aaHe watches over the feet of His godly ones,
^abBut the wicked ones are silenced in darkness;
^acFor not by might shall a person prevail.
10 “ ^adThose who contend with the Lord will be terrified;
^aeAgainst them He will thunder in the heavens,
^afThe Lord will judge the ends of the earth;
^agAnd He will give strength to His king,
^ahAnd will exalt the ^{▼▼I.e., strength}horn of His anointed.”
