Lucas 1

Mary’s Song of Praise

46 Then Mary said,

"My soul magnifies the Lord,

47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

48 because he has looked favorably on the humble state of his servant.

For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed,

49 because the Mighty One has done great things for me;

holy is his name.

50 From generation to generation his mercy is upon

those who fear him.

51 He has done a mighty deed with his arm;

he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.

52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones

and exalted the lowly.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things,

but the rich he has sent away empty.

54 He has helped his servant Israel,

remembering his mercy,

55 just as he spoke to our fathers,

to Abraham and to his offspring *1:55 forever ¦ until eternity PCKforever."
