1 Hannah prayed, |My heart rejoices in the LORD; my horn is exalted high because of the LORD. I loudly denounce my enemies, for I am happy that you delivered me. 2 No one is holy like the LORD! There is no one other than you! There is no rock like our God! 3 Don't keep speaking so arrogantly, letting proud talk come out of your mouth! For the LORD is a God who knows; he evaluates what people do. 4 The bows of warriors are shattered, but those who stumble find their strength reinforced. 5 Those who are well-fed hire themselves out to earn food, but the hungry no longer lack. Even the barren woman gives birth to seven, but the one with many children withers away. 6 The LORD both kills and gives life; he brings down to the grave and raises up. 7 The LORD impoverishes and makes wealthy; he humbles and he exalts. 1 Samuel 2:1-7, New English Translation.
