The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 2 of 1 Samuel. Hannah’s song interprets the preceding events theologically. Barrenness transformed into motherhood becomes an example of a broader principle: God brings down apparent human securities and exalts those who depend on him. The song speaks of divine sovereignty over life, poverty, wealth, and power, and anticipates the downfall of the mighty. Samuel’s story is therefore framed by a perspective that helps interpret later events, especially Eli’s humiliation and Saul’s downfall, as part of a dynamic of exaltation and judgment.

Die mit dem HERRN hadern, müssen zugrunde gehen; über ihnen wird er donnern im Himmel. Der HERR wird richten der Welt Enden und wird Macht geben seinem König und erhöhen das Horn seines Gesalbten.
Delante de Jehová serán quebrantados sus adversarios, Y sobre ellos tronará desde los cielos: Jehová juzgará los términos de la tierra, Y dará fortaleza a su Rey, Y ensalzará el cuerno de su Mesías.
Los adversarios de Jehová serán quebrantados; desde el cielo tronará contra ellos. Jehová juzgará los confines de la tierra. Dará fuerza a su rey y exaltará el poder de su ungido».
Les ennemis de l'Eternel trembleront; Du haut des cieux il lancera sur eux son tonnerre; L'Eternel jugera les extrémités de la terre. Il donnera la puissance à son roi, Et il relèvera la force de son oint.
Quelli che contendono col Signore saranno tritati; Egli tonerà dal cielo sopra loro; Il Signore giudicherà le estremità della terra; E donerà forza al suo Re, E innalzerà il corno del suo Unto
Os que contendem com o SENHOR serão quebrantados, desde os céus trovejará sobre eles; o SENHOR julgará as extremidades da terra; e dará força ao seu rei, e exaltará o poder do seu ungido.
與耶和華相爭的,必被打碎; 他必從天上打雷攻擊他們。 耶和華審判地極的人, 將力量賜給所立的王, 高舉受膏者的角。」
