1
My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, and my horn is exalted in my God: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies: because I have joyed in thy salvation.
2
There is none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, and there is none strong like our God.
3
Do not multiply to speak lofty things, boasting: let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, and to him are thoughts prepared.
4
The bow of the mighty is overcome, and the weak are girt with strength.
5
They that were full before, have hired out themselves for bread: and the hungry are filled, so that the barren hath borne many: and she that had many children is weakened.
6
The Lord killeth and maketh alive, he bringeth down to hell, and bringeth back again.
7
The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, he humbleth and he exalteth:
8
He raiseth up the needy from the dust, and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill: that he may sit with princes, and hold the throne of glory. For the poles of the earth are the Lord’s, and upon them he hath set the world.
9
He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; because no man shall prevail by his own strength.
10
The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens: The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give empire to his king, and shall exalt the horn of his Christ.
