These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me, how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.
The LORD said, *I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.
this is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him. The virgin daughter of Tziyon has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Yerushalayim has shaken her head at you.
Behold, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say you to the daughter of Tziyon, Behold, your yeshu`ah comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.
Arise and thresh, daughter of Tziyon; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass; and you will beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
Channah prayed, and said: My heart exults in the LORD! My horn is exalted in the LORD. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.
