God granted Hannah a son, the to be prophet Samuel. And she praised God. Excerpts from 1 Samuel 2, the parts that struck a chord in me:
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 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:
upon them he has set the world.”
