1 Samuel 2

¹And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart exulteth in Jehovah, my horn is lifted up in Jehovah; my mouth is opened wide over mine enemies; for I rejoice in thy salvation.

²There is none holy as Jehovah, for there is none beside thee, neither is there any rock like our God.

³Do not multiply your words of pride, let not vain-glory come out of your mouth; For Jehovah is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

⁴The bow of the mighty is broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

⁵They that were full have hired themselves out for bread; and the hungry are [so] no more: Even the barren beareth seven, and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

⁶Jehovah killeth, and maketh alive; he bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.

⁷Jehovah maketh poor, and maketh rich, he bringeth low, also he lifteth up:

⁸He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy, To set [him] among nobles; and he maketh them inherit a throne of glory; For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah's, and he hath set the world upon them.

⁹He keepeth the feet of his saints, but the wicked are silenced in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

¹⁰They that strive with Jehovah shall be broken to pieces; in the heavens will he thunder upon them. Jehovah will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

¹¹And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the boy ministered to Jehovah in the presence of Eli the priest.
