Luke 1:39-56

39And MaryG3137 aroseG450 in these daysG2250 and wentG4198 into the hillG3714 countryG3714 with haste, into a cityG4172 of JudahG2455; 40and enteredG1525 into the houseG3624 of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth. 41And it cameG1096 to passG1096, whenG5613 Elisabeth heardG191 the salutation of MaryG3137, the babe leapedG4640 in her wombG2836; and Elisabeth was filledG4130 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151; 42and she lifted up her voice with a loudG3173 cry, and saidG3004, BlessedG2127 art thou among womenG1135, and blessedG2127 is the fruitG2590 of thy wombG2836. 43And whence is this to me, that the motherG3384 of my LordG2962 should comeG2064 unto me? 44For beholdG2400, whenG5613 the voiceG5456 of thy salutation cameG1096 into mineG1473 earsG3775, the babe leapedG4640 in my wombG2836 for joy. 45And blessed isG1510 she that believedG4100; for there shall beG1510 a fulfilment of the things which have beenG1510 spokenG2980 to her from the LordG2962. 46And MaryG3137 saidG3004,

My soulG5590 doth magnify the LordG2962,47And my spiritG4151 hath rejoicedG21 in GodG2316 my Saviour.48For he hath looked upon the low estate of his handmaid:For beholdG2400, from henceforth all generationsG1074 shall call me blessed.49For he that is mightyG1415 hath done to me greatG3173 things;And holyG40 is his nameG3686.50And his mercyG1656 is unto generationsG1074 and generationsG1074On them that fearG5399 him.51He hath showed strengthG2904 with his armG1023;He hath scatteredG1287 the proud in the imagination of their heartG2588.52He hath put down princes from their thronesG2362,And hath exaltedG5312 them of low degree.53The hungryG3983 he hath filled with goodG18 thingsG18;And the richG4147 he hath sent emptyG2756 awayG1821.54He hath given helpG482 to IsraelG2474 his servantG3816,That he might rememberG3403 mercyG165655(As he spake unto our fathersG3962)Toward AbrahamG11 and his seedG4690 for ever.

56And MaryG3137 abode with her about threeG5140 monthsG3376, and returnedG5290 unto her houseG3624.
