Luke 1:46-55

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 bond-servant; For behold, from now on all generations will 7call me 8blessed.49For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.50 9And His mercy is to generation 10after 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 hearts.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 the rich away empty-handed.54He has given help to His servant Israel, 16In remembrance of His mercy,55 17Just as He spoke to our fathers, 18To Abraham and his 19descendants forever.”
