(10) In her wretchedness, she prayed to the LORD, weeping all the while. (11) And she made this vow: “O LORD of Hosts, if You will look upon the suffering of Your maidservant and will remember me and not forget Your maidservant, and if You will grant Your maidservant a male child, I will dedicate him to the LORD for all the days of his life; and no razor shall ever touch his head.”

(1) And Hannah prayed:
My heart exults in the LORD;
aLit. “My horn is high.”I have triumphed-a through the LORD.
bLit. “My mouth is wide.”I gloat-b over my enemies;
I rejoice in Your deliverance.
(2) There is no holy one like the LORD,
Truly, there is none beside You;
There is no rock like our God.
(3) Talk no more with lofty pride,
Let no arrogance cross your lips!
For the LORD is an all-knowing God;
By Him actions are measured.
(4) The bows of the mighty are broken,
And the faltering are girded with strength. (5) Men once sated must hire out for bread;
Men once hungry hunger no more.
While the barren woman bears seven,
The mother of many is forlorn. (6) The LORD deals death and gives life,
Casts down into Sheol and raises up. (7) The LORD makes poor and makes rich;
He casts down, He also lifts high. (8) He raises the poor from the dust,
Lifts up the needy from the dunghill,
Setting them with nobles,
Granting them seats of honor.
For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s;
He has set the world upon them. (9) He guards the steps of His faithful,
But the wicked perish in darkness—
For not by strength shall man prevail.
(10) The foes of the LORD shall be shattered;
He will thunder against them in the heavens.
The LORD will judge the ends of the earth.
He will give power to His king,
cLit. “And will raise the horn of.”And triumph to-c His anointed one.
