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.
