Hannah's Song of Praise and Reversal

1

And Hannah prayeth, and saith: `My heart hath exulted in Jehovah, My horn hath been high in Jehovah, My mouth hath been large over mine enemies, For I have rejoiced in Thy salvation.

2

There is none holy like Jehovah, For there is none save Thee, And there is no rock like our God.

3

Ye multiply not--ye speak haughtily--The old saying goeth out from your mouth, For a God of knowledge is Jehovah, And by Him actions are weighed.

4

Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on strength.

5

The satiated for bread hired themselves, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren hath borne seven, And she abounding with sons hath languished.

6

Jehovah putteth to death, and keepeth alive, He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up.

7

Jehovah dispossesseth, and He maketh rich, He maketh low, yea, He maketh high.

8

He raiseth from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth up the needy, To cause them to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to Jehovah are the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable world.

9

The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.

10

Jehovah--broken down are His adversaries, Against them in the heavens He thundereth: Jehovah judgeth the ends of earth, And giveth strength to His king, And exalteth the horn of His anointed.'
