Luke 1:46-56

46And Mary said: “1My soul 2 3exalts the Lord,47And 4my spirit has rejoiced in 5God my Savior.48For 6He has had regard for the humble state of His 7bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me 8blessed.49For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.50 9And His mercy is 10upon generation after generation Toward those who fear Him.51 11He has done 12mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who were proud in the 13thoughts of their heart.52He has brought down rulers from their thrones, And has 14exalted those who were humble.53 15He has filled the hungry with good things; And sent away the rich empty-handed.54He has given help to Israel His servant, 16In remembrance of His mercy,55 17As He spoke to our fathers, 18To Abraham and his 19descendants forever.”

56And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her home.
