39NowG1161 1at thisG3778 timeG2250 MaryG3137 aroseG450 and wentG4198 in a hurryG4710 to 2the hillG3714 countryG3714, to a cityG4172 of JudahG2455, 40and enteredG1525 the houseG3624 of ZachariasG2197 and greetedG782 ElizabethG1665. 41WhenG5613 ElizabethG1665 heardG191 Mary’sG3137 greetingG783, the babyG1025 leapedG4640 in her wombG2836; and ElizabethG1665 was 3filledG4092 with the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 42And she criedG400 out with a loudG3173 voiceG2906 and saidG3004, “BlessedG2127 are you amongG1722 womenG1135, and blessedG2127 is the fruitG2590 of your wombG2836! 43And 4howG4159 has it happened to me, that the motherG3384 of 5my LordG2962 would comeG2064 to me? 44For beholdG2400, whenG5613 the soundG5456 of your greetingG783 reachedG1096 my earsG3775, the babyG1025 leapedG4640 in my wombG2836 for joyG20. 45And 6blessedG3107 is she who 7believedG4100 that there would be a fulfillmentG5050 of what had been spokenG2980 to her 8by the LordG2962.”

46And MaryG3137 saidG3004: “9My soulG5590 1011exaltsG3170 the LordG2962,47And 12my spiritG4151 has rejoicedG21 in 13GodG2316 my SaviorG4990.48For 14He has hadG1914 regardG1914 for the humbleG5014 stateG5014 of His 15bondslaveG1401; For beholdG2400, from thisG3568 timeG3568 on allG3956 generationsG1074 will countG3106 me 16blessedG3106.49For the MightyG1415 OneG1415 has doneG4160 greatG3173 thingsG3173 for me; And holyG40 is His nameG3686.5017And His mercyG1656 is 18upon generationG1074 afterG2532 generationG1074 Toward thoseG3588 who fearG5399 Him.5119He has doneG4160 20mightyG2904 deedsG2904 with His armG1023; He has scatteredG1287 those who were proudG5244 in the 21thoughtsG1271 of their heartG2588.52He has broughtG2507 downG2507 rulersG1413 from their thronesG2362, And has 22exaltedG5312 those who were humbleG5011.5323He has filledG1705 the hungryG3983 with goodG18 thingsG18; And sentG1821 awayG1821 the richG4147 empty-handedG2756.54He has givenG482 helpG482 to IsraelG2474 His servantG3816, 24In remembranceG3403 of His mercyG1656,5525As He spokeG2980 to our fathersG3962, 26To AbrahamG11 and his 27descendantsG4690 foreverG165.”

56And MaryG3137 stayedG3306 with her aboutG5613 threeG5140 monthsG3376, and then returnedG5290 to her homeG3624.

57NowG1161 the timeG5550 28had comeG4092 for ElizabethG1665 to giveG5088 birthG5088, and she gaveG1080 birthG5088 to a sonG5207. 58Her neighborsG4040 and her relativesG4773 heardG191 that the LordG2962 had 2930displayedG3170 His greatG3170 mercyG1656 towardG3326 her; and they were rejoicingG4796 with her.
