3. “My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies,
for I delight in your deliverance. There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God. Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the Lord is a God who knows, and by him deeds are weighed. The bows of the warriors are broken,
but those who stumbled are armed with strength. Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
but those who were hungry are hungry no more. She who was barren has borne seven children,
but she who has had many sons pines away. The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to
the grave and raises up. The Lord sends poverty and wealth; he humbles and he exalts. He raises the
poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them
inherit a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s; on them he has set the
world.He will guard the feet of his faithful servants, but the wicked will be silenced in the place of
darkness.It is not by strength that one prevails; those who oppose the Lord will be broken. The Most
High will thunder from heaven; the Lord will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his
king and exalt the horn of his anointed.” 1 Sam 2: 1-11
