Luke 1:46

¹Hannah prayed, and said, “My heart exults in the LORD! My horn is exalted in the LORD. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation. ²There is no one as holy as the LORD, for there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God. ³“Don’t keep talking so exceedingly proudly. Don’t let arrogance come out of your mouth, for the LORD is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed. ⁴“The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength. ⁵Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes. ⁶“The LORD kills and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol^[+] and brings up. ⁷The LORD makes poor and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up. ⁸He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill to make them sit with princes and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the LORD’s. He has set the world on them. ⁹He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked will be put to silence in darkness; for no man will prevail by strength. ¹⁰Those who strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “The LORD will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

²My soul shall boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it and be glad. ³Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let’s exalt his name together.

⁹My soul shall be joyful in the LORD. It shall rejoice in his salvation.

¹⁰I will greatly rejoice in the LORD! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

¹Praise the LORD, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name! ²Praise the LORD, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits,

³¹that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

²⁵All the offspring of Israel will be justified in the LORD, and will rejoice!

¹¹Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”

¹⁴Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.
