Luke 1

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

49 because the Mighty One  * 1:49 Ps 89:8; Zph 3:17

has done great things for me,  * 1:49 Ps 71:19; 126:2–3

and his name  * 1:49 Lv 20:3; 22:2,32; 1Ch 16:10,35; 29:16; Ps 30:4; 99:3; 103:1; 111:9; Is 57:15 is holy.
