Luke 1:47-55

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