*🍃RESPONSORIAL*
_Response: My heart rejoices in the Lord my Savior._
*First Samuel 2:1, 4-5, 6-7, 8*
Hannah then prayed as follows: My heart exults in Yahweh, in my God is my strength lifted up, my mouth derides my foes, for I rejoice in your deliverance.
The bow of the mighty has been broken but those who were tottering are now braced with strength.
The full fed are hiring themselves out for bread but the hungry need labour no more; the barren woman bears sevenfold but the mother of many is left desolate.
Yahweh gives death and life, brings down to Sheol and draws up;
Yahweh makes poor and rich, he humbles and also exalts.
He raises the poor from the dust, he lifts the needy from the dunghill to give them a place with princes, to assign them a seat of honour; for to Yahweh belong the pillars of the earth, on these he has poised the world.
