Hannah’s Song of Thanksgiving — 1 Samuel 2:1-11, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTER

1 Samuel, Chapter 2, verses 1-11

¹ Then Hannah prayed and said,“My heart exults in the LORD;
My^ahorn is exalted in the LORD,
My mouth^bspeaks boldly against my enemies,
Because I rejoice in Your salvation.

²“There is no one holy like the LORD,
Indeed, there is no one besides You,
Nor is there any rock like our God.

³“^cBoast no more so very proudly,
Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
For the LORD is a God of knowledge,
And with Him actions are weighed.

⁴“The bows of the mighty are shattered,
But the feeble gird on strength.

⁵“Those who were full hire themselves out for bread,
But those who were hungry cease to hunger.
Even the barren gives birth to seven,
But she who has many children languishes.

⁶“The LORD kills and makes alive;
He brings down to^dSheol and raises up.

⁷“The LORD makes poor and rich;
He brings low, He also exalts.

⁸“He raises the poor from the dust,
He lifts the needy from the ash heap
To make them sit with nobles,
And inherit a seat of honor;
For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S,
And He set the world on them.

⁹“He keeps the feet of His godly ones,
But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness;
For not by might shall a man prevail.

¹⁰“Those who contend with the LORD will be shattered;
Against them He will thunder in the heavens,
The LORD will judge the ends of the earth;
And He will give strength to His king,
And will exalt the^ehorn of His anointed.”

¹¹ Then Elkanah went to his home at Ramah. But the boy ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.
