1 Samuel 2:1-11 - Hannah's Triumphant Prayer

¹ Then prayed Hannah, and said, My heart hath leaped for joy in Yahweh, My horn is exalted in Yahweh, My mouth is opened wide, o'er my foes, Because I rejoice in thy salvation. ² There is none holy like Yahweh, Nay! there, is none, except Thee, Nor, is, there a rock, like our God. ³ Do not multiply words, so loftily - loftily, Nor let arrogance proceed from your mouth, - For, a GOD of knowledge, is Yahweh, And, for himself, are great doings made firm. ⁴ The bow of the mighty, is dismayed, - While, the fainting, are girded with strength; ⁵ The sated, have, for bread, taken hire, But, the famished, have left off their toil, - So that, the barren, hath given birth unto seven, While, she that hath many sons, languisheth: ⁶ Yahweh, doth kill, and make alive, - Taketh down to hades, and bringeth up: ⁷ Yahweh, maketh poor, and enricheth, - Layeth low, yea exalteth; ⁸ Raiseth, from the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy, To give them a dwelling with nobles, And, a throne of glory, to make them inherit. For, to Yahweh, belong the pillars of the earth, And he setteth thereon the habitable world. ⁹ The feet of his loving ones, he doth guard, But, the lawless, in darkness shall be silent, - For, by strength, shall no man prevail. ¹⁰ As for Yahweh, - they shall be shattered who contend with him, Over him, in the heavens will he thunder, Yahweh, will judge the ends of the earth, - That he may give strength to his King, And exalt the horn of his Anointed One.

¹¹ Then went Elkanah to Ramah, unto his own house, - but, the boy, remained ministering unto Yahweh, before Eli the priest.
