1 Then Hannah prayed:“My heart rejoices in the lord!The lord has made me strong.Now I have an answer for my enemies;I rejoice because you rescued me.
2 No one is holy like the lord!There is no one besides you;there is no Rock like our God.
3 “Stop acting so proud and haughty!Don’t speak with such arrogance!For the lord is a God who knows what you have done;he will judge your actions.
4 The bow of the mighty is now broken,and those who stumbled are now strong.
5 Those who were well fed are now starving,and those who were starving are now full.The childless woman now has seven children,and the woman with many children wastes away.
6 The lord gives both death and life;he brings some down to the grave but raises others up.
