1 Samuel 2:1–10

And Hannah prayed, and said,

^aMy heart rejoiceth in the Lord,

^bMine horn is exalted in the Lord:

My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies;

Because I ^crejoice in thy salvation.

^2dThere is none holy as the Lord:

For there is ^enone beside thee:

Neither is there any ^frock like our God.

³Talk no more so exceeding proudly;

^gLet not arrogancy come out of your mouth:

For the Lord is a God of knowledge,

And by him actions are weighed.

^4hThe bows of the mighty men are broken,

And they that stumbled are girt with strength.

⁵ⁱThey that were full have hired out themselves for bread;

And they that were hungry ceased:

So that ^kthe barren hath born seven;

And ^lshe that hath many children is waxed feeble.

^6mThe Lord killeth, and maketh alive:

He bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

⁷The Lord ⁿmaketh poor, and maketh rich:

^oHe bringeth low, and lifteth up.

^8pHe raiseth up the poor out of the dust,

And lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill,

^qTo set them among princes,

And to make them inherit the throne of glory:

For ^rthe pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,

And he hath set the world upon them.

^9sHe will keep the feet of his saints,

And the wicked shall be silent in darkness;

For by strength shall no man prevail.

¹⁰The adversaries of the Lord shall be ^tbroken to pieces;

^uOut of heaven shall he thunder upon them:

^wThe Lord shall judge the ends of the earth;

And he shall give strength unto his king,

And ^xexalt the horn of his anointed.
