Mary’s Praise
46 And Mary said:
My soul magnifies the Lord, 1:46–53 1Sm 2:1–10
47 and my spirit rejoices 1:47 Ps 35:9; Hab 3:18 in God my Savior, 1:47 1Tm 1:1; 2:3; Ti 1:3; 2:10; 3:4; Jd 25
48 because he has looked with favor
on the humble condition of his servant.
Surely, from now on all generations
will call me blessed, 1:48 Lk 11:27
51 He has done a mighty deed with his arm; 1:51 Ps 89:10; 98:1; 118:15
he has scattered the proud
because of the thoughts of their hearts; 1:51 Lk 2:35; 9:47
52 he has toppled the mighty from their thrones
and exalted the lowly. 1:52 1Sm 2:7–8
53 He has satisfied the hungry with good things 1:53 Ps 34:10; 107:9; Lk 6:21,24–25
and sent the rich away empty.
