Then Hannah ^(C1)prayed and said, "My heart rejoices in the LORD; ^(C2)My ^(F1)horn is exalted in the LORD, My mouth ^(F2)speaks boldly against my enemies, Because ^(C3)I rejoice in Your salvation.

-"^(C1)There is no one holy like the LORD, Indeed, ^(C2)there is no one besides You, ^(C3)Nor is there any rock like our God.

-"Do not go on ^(F1)boasting so very proudly, ^(C1)Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; ^(C2)For the LORD is a God of knowledge, ^(C3)And ^(F2)with Him actions are weighed.

-"^(C1)The bows of the mighty are broken to pieces, ^(C2)But those who have stumbled strap on strength.

-"Those who were full hire themselves out for bread, But those who were hungry cease to be hungry. ^(C1)Even the infertile woman gives birth to seven, But ^(C2)she who has many children languishes.

-"^(C1)The LORD puts to death and makes alive; ^(C2)He brings down to ^(F1)Sheol and brings up.

-"^(C1)The LORD makes poor and rich; ^(C2)He humbles, He also exalts.

-"^(C1)He raises the poor from the dust, ^(C2)He lifts the needy from the garbage heap ^(C3)To seat them with nobles, And He gives them a seat of honor as an inheritance; ^(C4)For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, And He set the world on them.

-"^(C1)He watches over the feet of His godly ones, ^(C2)But the wicked ones are silenced in darkness; ^(C3)For not by might shall a person prevail.

-"^(C1)Those who contend with the LORD will be terrified; ^(C2)Against them He will thunder in the heavens, ^(C3)The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; ^(C4)And He will give strength to His king, ^(C5)And will exalt the ^(F1)horn of His anointed."
