Hannah’s Song of Thanksgiving

Then Hannah (A)prayed and said,

“My heart exults in the Lord;
(B)My [a]horn is exalted in the Lord,
My mouth [b]speaks boldly against my enemies,
Because (C)I rejoice in Your salvation.
(D)There is no one holy like the Lord,
Indeed, (E)there is no one besides You,
(F)Nor is there any rock like our God.

  2. 1 Samuel 2:1 Lit is enlarged

(A)The Lord kills and makes alive;
(B)He brings down to [a]Sheol and raises up.
(C)The Lord makes poor and rich;
(D)He brings low, He also exalts.
(E)He raises the poor from the dust,
(F)He lifts the needy from the ash heap
(G)To make them sit with nobles,
And inherit a seat of honor;
(H)For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
And He set the world on them.
(I)He keeps the feet of His godly ones,
(J)But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness;
(K)For not by might shall a man prevail.
10 (L)Those who contend with the Lord will be shattered;
(M)Against them He will thunder in the heavens,
(N)The Lord will judge the ends of the earth;
(O)And He will give strength to His king,
(P)And will exalt the [b]horn of His anointed.”
