Hannah’s Prayer

1 And Hannah aprayed and said:
b“My1 heart rejoices in the Lord;
cMy horn is exalted in the Lord.
1I smile at my enemies,
Because I drejoice in Your salvation. 
2 “Noa one is holy like the Lord,
For there is bnone besides You,
Nor is there any crock like our God. 
3 “Talk no more so very proudly;
aLet no arrogance come from your mouth,
For the Lord is the God of bknowledge;
And by Him actions are weighed. 
4 “Thea bows of the mighty men are broken,
And those who stumbled are girded with strength. 
5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread,
And the hungry have ceased to hunger.
Even athe barren has borne seven,
And bshe who has many children has become feeble. 
6 “Thea Lord kills and makes alive;
He brings down to the grave and brings up. 
7 The Lord amakes poor and makes rich;
bHe brings low and lifts up.

Barnes' Notes

1 Samuel 2:1

The song of Hannah is a prophetic Psalm. It is poetry. and it is prophecy. It takes its place by the side of the songs of Miriam, Deborah, and the Virgin Mary, as well as those of Moses, David, Hezekiah, and other Psalmists and prophets whose inspired odes have been preserved in the Bible. The special feature which these songs have in common is, that springing from, and in their first conception relating to, incidents in the lives of the individuals who composed them, they branch out into magnificent descriptions of the Kingdom and glory of Christ, and the triumphs of the Church, of which those incidents were providentially designed to be the types. The perception of this is essential to the understanding of Hannah' s song. Compare the marginal references throughout.
