Hannah’s Prayer

Then Hannah prayed. She said,

“The Lord has filled my heart with joy.
    He has made me strong.
I can laugh at my enemies.
    I’m so glad he saved me.

“There isn’t anyone holy like the Lord.
    There isn’t anyone except him.
    There isn’t any Rock like our God.

“Don’t keep talking so proudly.
    Don’t let your mouth say such proud things.
The Lord is a God who knows everything.
    He judges everything people do.
