1 Samuel 2:1-11
Hannah’s Prayer of Thanksgiving

1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.

1:

2 [There is] none holy as the LORD: for [there is] none beside thee: neither [is there] any rock like our God.

2:

3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let [not] arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD [is] a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

3:

4 The bows of the mighty men [are] broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.

4:

5 [They that were] full have hired out themselves for bread; and [they that were] hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

5:

6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

6:

7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.

7:

8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.

8:

9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.

9:

10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

10:

11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.

11:
