1 Samuel 2:1-11 - Hannah's Triumphant Prayer
1 Hannah prayed:
my horn is lifted up by the Lord.
My mouth boasts over my enemies,
because I rejoice in Your salvation.
There is no one besides You!
And there is no rock like our God.
or let arrogant words come out of your mouth,
for the Lord is a God of knowledge,
and actions are weighed by Him.
but the feeble are clothed with strength.
but those who are starving hunger no more.
The woman who is childless gives birth to seven,
but the woman with many sons pines away.
He sends some to Sheol, and He raises others up.
He humbles and He exalts.
and lifts the needy from the garbage pile.
He seats them with noblemen
and gives them a throne of honor.
For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s;
He has set the world on them.
but the wicked perish in darkness,
for a man does not prevail by his own strength.
He will thunder in the heavens against them.
The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.
He will give power to His king;
He will lift up the horn of His anointed.
