1. Hannah prayed:“The Lord has filled my heart with joy;how happy I am because of what he has done!I laugh at my enemies;how joyful I am because God has helped me!
2. “No one is holy like the Lord;there is none like him,no protector like our God.
3. Stop your loud boasting;silence your proud words.For the Lord is a God who knows,and he judges all that people do.
4. The bows of strong soldiers are broken,but the weak grow strong.
5. The people who once were well fednow hire themselves out to get food,but the hungry are hungry no more.The childless wife has borne seven children,but the mother of many is left with none.
6. The Lord kills and restores to life;he sends people to the world of the deadand brings them back again.
7. He makes some poor and others rich;he humbles some and makes others great.
