Rh she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord. For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him: therefore also I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord. And he worshipped the Lord there.

Hannah prayed, and said,


 * heart rejoiceth in the Lord,
 * Mine horn is exalted in the Lord:
 * My mouth is enlarged over mine enemies;
 * Because I rejoice in thy salvation.
 * There is none holy as the Lord:
 * For there is none beside thee:
 * Neither is there any rock like our God.
 * Talk no more so exceeding proudly;
 * Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth:
 * For the Lord is a God of knowledge.
 * And by him actions are weighed.
 * The bows of the mighty men are broken.
 * And they that stumbled are girded with strength.
 * They that were full have hired out themselves for
 * bread;
 * And they that were hungry ceased:
 * So that the barren hath born seven;
 * And she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
