1 Samuel 2 1-1 Samuel 2 11
Then Hannah prayed and said:“ My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance.“ There is no one holy like the Lord; 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 bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with strength.Those who were full hire themselves out for food, but those who were hungry are hungry no more. She who was barren has borne seven children, but she who has had many sons pines away.“ The Lord brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and raises up.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; on them he has set the world.He will guard the feet of his faithful servants, but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.“ It is not by strength that one prevails;those who oppose the Lord will be broken. The Most High will thunder from heaven; the Lord will judge the ends of the earth.“ He will give strength to his king and exalt the horn of his anointed.”Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy ministered before the Lord under Eli the priest.

Exode 15:1-21
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord:“ I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.“ The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is his name.Pharaoh’s chariots and his army he has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh’s officers are drowned in the Red Sea.The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone.Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy.“ In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble.By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea.The enemy boasted,‘ I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them.’But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you— majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?“ You stretch out your right hand, and the earth swallows your enemies.In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.The nations will hear and tremble; anguish will grip the people of Philistia.The chiefs of Edom will be terrified, the leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling, the people of Canaan will melt away;terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of your arm they will be as still as a stone— until your people pass by, Lord, until the people you bought pass by.You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance— the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, Lord, your hands established.“ The Lord reigns for ever and ever.”When Pharaoh’s horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron’s sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her, with timbrels and dancing.Miriam sang to them:“ Sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.” (niv)

2 Samuel 22 1-2 Samuel 22 51
David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.He said:“ The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior— from violent people you save me.“ I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies.The waves of death swirled about me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me.The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.“ In my distress I called to the Lord; I called out to my God. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came to his ears.The earth trembled and quaked, the foundations of the heavens shook; they trembled because he was angry.Smoke rose from his nostrils; consuming fire came from his mouth, burning coals blazed out of it.He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.He made darkness his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.Out of the brightness of his presence bolts of lightning blazed forth.The Lord thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.He shot his arrows and scattered the enemy, with great bolts of lightning he routed them.The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at the rebuke of the Lord, at the blast of breath from his nostrils.“ He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters.He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the Lord was my support.He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me.“ The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I am not guilty of turning from my God.All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees.I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.“ To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless,to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low.You, Lord, are my lamp; the Lord turns my darkness into light.With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.“ As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.You make your saving help my shield; your help has made me great.You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way.“ I pursued my enemies and crushed them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.I crushed them completely, and they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet.You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the Lord, but he did not answer.I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth; I pounded and trampled them like mud in the streets.“ You have delivered me from the attacks of the peoples; you have preserved me as the head of nations. People I did not know now serve me,foreigners cower before me; as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds.“ The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be my God, the Rock, my Savior!He is the God who avenges me, who puts the nations under me,who sets me free from my enemies. You exalted me above my foes; from a violent man you rescued me.Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing the praises of your name.“ He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever.” (niv)

Juges 5:1-31
On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:“ When the princes in Israel take the lead, when the people willingly offer themselves— praise the Lord!“ Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I, even I, will sing to the Lord; I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song.“ When you, Lord, went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water.The mountains quaked before the Lord, the One of Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel.“ In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths.Villagers in Israel would not fight; they held back until I, Deborah, arose, until I arose, a mother in Israel.God chose new leaders when war came to the city gates, but not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.My heart is with Israel’s princes, with the willing volunteers among the people. Praise the Lord!“ You who ride on white donkeys, sitting on your saddle blankets, and you who walk along the road, considerthe voice of the singers at the watering places. They recite the victories of the Lord, the victories of his villagers in Israel.“ Then the people of the Lord went down to the city gates.‘ Wake up, wake up, Deborah! Wake up, wake up, break out in song! Arise, Barak! Take captive your captives, son of Abinoam.’“ The remnant of the nobles came down; the people of the Lord came down to me against the mighty.Some came from Ephraim, whose roots were in Amalek; Benjamin was with the people who followed you. From Makir captains came down, from Zebulun those who bear a commander’s staff.The princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yes, Issachar was with Barak, sent under his command into the valley. In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart.Why did you stay among the sheep pens to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart.Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan. And Dan, why did he linger by the ships? Asher remained on the coast and stayed in his coves.The people of Zebulun risked their very lives; so did Naphtali on the terraced fields.“ Kings came, they fought, the kings of Canaan fought. At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo, they took no plunder of silver.From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.The river Kishon swept them away, the age-old river, the river Kishon. March on, my soul; be strong!Then thundered the horses’ hooves— galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds.‘ Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the Lord.‘ Curse its people bitterly, because they did not come to help the Lord, to help the Lord against the mighty.’“ Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.He asked for water, and she gave him milk; in a bowl fit for nobles she brought him curdled milk.Her hand reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera, she crushed his head, she shattered and pierced his temple.At her feet he sank, he fell; there he lay. At her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell— dead.“ Through the window peered Sisera’s mother; behind the lattice she cried out,‘ Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?’The wisest of her ladies answer her; indeed, she keeps saying to herself,‘ Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: a woman or two for each man, colorful garments as plunder for Sisera, colorful garments embroidered, highly embroidered garments for my neck— all this as plunder?’“ So may all your enemies perish, Lord! But may all who love you be like the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had peace forty years. (niv)
