Hannah’s Prayer

Hannah prayed out loud,

“My heart finds joy in Yahweh.
My head is lifted to Yahweh.
My mouth mocks my enemies.
    I rejoice because you saved me.
There is no one holy like Yahweh.
There is no one but you, O Lord.
There is no Tsur like our Elohim.

“Do not boast
    or let arrogance come out of your mouth
        because Yahweh is an El of knowledge,
            and he weighs our actions.

“There is no one holy(F) like(G) the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock(H) like our God.

“Do not keep talking so proudly
    or let your mouth speak such arrogance,(I)
for the Lord is a God who knows,(J)
    and by him deeds(K) are weighed.(L)
