My Heart Rejoice in the Lord - 1st Samuel 2

1 Samuel 2:1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My 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. 

1 Samuel 2:2 There is none holy as the LORD: for  there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like  our God. 

1 Samuel 2:3 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. 

1 Samuel 2:4 The  bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that  stumbled are girded with strength. 

1 Samuel 2:5 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. 

1 Samuel 2:6 The  LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the  grave, and bringeth up. 

1 Samuel 2:7 The LORD maketh poor, and  maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 

1 Samuel 2:8 He  raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the  beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and  to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of  the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon  them. 

1 Samuel 2:9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the  wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no  man prevail. 

1 Samuel 2:10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be  broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them:  the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall  give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his  anointed. 

1 Samuel 2:11 And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house.  And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the  priest.  

1 Samuel 2:12 Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they  knew not the LORD. 

1 Samuel 2:13 And the priest’s custom with  the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the  priest’s servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a  flesh hook of three teeth in his hand; 

1 Samuel 2:14 And he struck  it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the  flesh hook brought up the priest took for himself. So they  did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither. 

1 Samuel 2:15  Also before they burnt the fat, the priest’s servant came, and  said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the  priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.  

1 Samuel 2:16 And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to  burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul  desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt  give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force. 

1 Samuel 2:17  Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before  the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.  

1 Samuel 2:18 But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being  a child, girded with a linen ephod. 

1 Samuel 2:19 Moreover his  mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from  year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.   

1 Samuel 2:20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said,  The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which  is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.  

1 Samuel 2:21 And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she  conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the  child Samuel grew before the LORD.  

1 Samuel 2:22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons  did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that  assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the  congregation. 

1 Samuel 2:23 And he said unto them, Why do ye  such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this  people. 

1 Samuel 2:24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I  hear: ye make the LORD’S people to transgress. 

1 Samuel 2:25 If  one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but  if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him?  Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their  father, because the LORD would slay them. 

1 Samuel 2:26 And the  child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the  LORD, and also with men.  

1 Samuel 2:27 And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said  unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto  the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in  Pharaoh’s house? 

1 Samuel 2:28 And did I choose him out of all  the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine  altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did  I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by  fire of the children of Israel? 

1 Samuel 2:29 Wherefore kick ye at  my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded  in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to  make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of  Israel my people? 

1 Samuel 2:30 Wherefore the LORD God of  Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of  thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the  LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I  will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly  esteemed. 

1 Samuel 2:31 Behold, the days come, that I will cut off  thine arm, and the arm of thy father’s house, that there shall  not be an old man in thine house. 

1 Samuel 2:32 And thou shalt see  an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which  God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in  thine house for ever. 

1 Samuel 2:33 And the man of thine, whom I  shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine  eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine  house shall die in the flower of their age. 

1 Samuel 2:34 And this  shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two  sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die  both of them. 

1 Samuel 2:35 And I will raise me up a faithful priest,  that shall do according to that which is in mine heart  and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he  shall walk before mine anointed for ever. 

1 Samuel 2:36 And it  shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine  house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver  and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee,  into one of the priests’ offices, that I may eat a piece of  bread.  KJV
