Lucas 1

The Song of Mary

46 And Mary said:

*1 Sam. 2:1–10; Ps. 34:2, 3; Hab. 3:18"My soul magnifies the Lord,

47 And my spirit has *Ps. 35:9; Hab. 3:18rejoiced in *1 Tim. 1:1; 2:3; Titus 1:3; 2:10; 3:4; Jude 25God my Savior.

48 For *1 Sam. 1:11; Ps. 138:6He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;

For behold, henceforth *Luke 11:27all generations will call me blessed.

49 For He who is mighty *Ps. 71:19; 126:2, 3has done great things for me,

And *Ps. 111:9; Rev. 4:8holy is His name.

50 And *Gen. 17:7; Ex. 20:6; 34:6, 7; Ps. 103:17His mercy is on those who fear Him

From generation to generation.

51 *Ps. 98:1; 118:15; Is. 40:10He has shown strength with His arm;

*Ps. 33:10; (1 Pet. 5:5)He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

52 *1 Sam. 2:7, 8He has put down the mighty from their thrones,

And exalted the lowly.

53 He has *(Matt. 5:6)filled the hungry with good things,

And the rich He has sent away empty.

54 He has helped His *Is. 41:8servant Israel,

*Ps. 98:3; (Jer. 31:3)In remembrance of His mercy,

55 *Gen. 17:19; Ps. 132:11; (Gal. 3:16)As He spoke to our *(Rom. 11:28)fathers,

To Abraham and to his *Gen. 17:7seed forever."
