Hannah's prayer to Yahweh continues.

|
|
# the affliction of your servant
|
|
|
|
The abstract noun "affliction" can be translated as a verb phrase. This refers either to 1) Hannah being unable to become pregnant. AT: "how I am suffering because I cannot become pregnant" or 2) the way Peninnah always insulted her. AT: "how that woman is afflicting me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])

|
# call me to mind
|
|
|
|
This is a special plea to God to take action on Hannah's behalf. God does know what is happening to Hannah; he has not forgotten.

# do not forget your servant
|
|
|
|
This phrase says almost the same thing as "call me to mind." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
