And Hannah prayed, and said:
My heart exulteth in the LORD,
My horn is exalted in the LORD;
My mouth speaks out over mine enemies;
Because I rejoice in Thy salvation.
There is none holy as the LORD;
For there is none beside Thee;
Neither is there any rock like our God.
For the LORD is a God of knowledge,
And by Him actions are weighed.
And they that were hungry have ceased;
While the barren hath borne seven,
She that had many children hath languished.)
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
He lifteth up the needy
To make them sit with princes,
And inherit the throne of glory;
For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S,
And He hath set the world upon them.

THE SONG OF HANNAH
1 Samuel 2:1-9
And Hannah prayed, and said:
My heart exulteth in the LORD,
My horn is exalted in the LORD;
My mouth speaks out over mine enemies;
Because I rejoice in Thy salvation.
There is none holy as the LORD;
For there is none beside Thee;
Neither is there any rock like our God.
For the LORD is a God of knowledge,
And by Him actions are weighed.
And they that were hungry have ceased;
While the barren hath borne seven,
She that had many children hath languished.)
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
He lifteth up the needy
To make them sit with princes,
And inherit the throne of glory;
For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S,
And He hath set the world upon them.
