Hannah Gives Thanks

Hannah prayed:

“The Lord has filled my heart with joy;
    I feel very strong in the Lord.
I can laugh at my enemies;
    I am glad because you have helped me!

“There is no one holy like the Lord.
    There is no God but you;
    there is no Rock like our God.

“Don’t continue bragging,
    don’t speak proud words.
The Lord is a God who knows everything,
    and he judges what people do.

Hannah’s Prayer

Then Hannah prayed and said:(A)

“My heart rejoices(B) in the Lord;
    in the Lord my horn[a](C) is lifted high.
My mouth boasts(D) over my enemies,(E)
    for I delight in your deliverance.

“There is no one holy(F) like(G) the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock(H) like our God.

“Do not keep talking so proudly
    or let your mouth speak such arrogance,(I)
for the Lord is a God who knows,(J)
    and by him deeds(K) are weighed.(L)
