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

¹¹ She vowed a vow, and said, Yahweh of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a man-child, then I will give him to Yahweh all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come on his head.

¹² It happened, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Eli marked her mouth.

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

⁹ Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.

¹⁹ But most assuredly, God has listened. He has heard the voice of my prayer.

²⁰ Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, Nor his loving kindness from me.

¹ I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy.

² Because he has turned his ear to me, Therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

³ The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of Sheol got a hold of me. I found trouble and sorrow.

⁴ Then called I on the name of Yahweh: "Yahweh, I beg you, deliver my soul."

⁵ Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful.

⁵ Out of my distress, I called on Yah. Yah answered me with freedom.

⁷ "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

¹⁵ And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
