²⁷ For this child I prayed; and Jehovah hath given me my petition which I asked of him:

¹¹ And she vowed a vow, and said, O Jehovah of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thy handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thy handmaid, but wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child, then I will give him unto Jehovah all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

¹² And it came to pass, as she continued praying before Jehovah, that Eli marked her mouth.

¹³ Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.

⁹ Jehovah hath heard my supplication; Jehovah will receive my prayer.

¹⁹ But verily God hath heard; He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God, Who hath not turned away my prayer, Nor his lovingkindness from me. Psalm 67 For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm, a song.

¹ I love Jehovah, because he heareth My voice and my supplications.

² Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call `upon him' as long as I live.

³ The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴ Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

⁵ Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous; Yea, our God is merciful.

⁵ Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah: Jehovah answered me `and set me' in a large place.

⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

¹⁵ and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
