Mary's Song of Praise: The Magnificat

46 And Mary said,

(A)“My (B)soul (C)magnifies the Lord,
47     (D)and my (E)spirit rejoices in (F)God my Savior,
48 for (G)he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
    For behold, from now on all generations (H)will call me blessed;
49 for (I)he who is mighty (J)has done great things for me,
    and (K)holy is his name.
50 And (L)his mercy is for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
51 (M)He has shown strength with his arm;
    (N)he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
52 (O)he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    (P)and exalted those of humble estate;
53 he has filled (Q)the hungry with good things,
    and the rich (R)he has sent away empty.
54 He has (S)helped (T)his servant Israel,
    (U)in remembrance of his mercy,
55 (V)as he spoke to our fathers,
    (W)to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

17 (A)Your eyes will behold the king in his beauty;
    (B)they will see a land that stretches afar.
18 (C)Your heart will muse on the terror:
    “Where is he who counted, where is (D)he who weighed the tribute?
    Where is (E)he who counted the towers?”
19 (F)You will see no more the insolent people,
    the people (G)of an obscure speech that you cannot comprehend,
    stammering in a tongue that you cannot understand.
20 Behold Zion, the city of our appointed feasts!
    (H)Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
    an untroubled habitation, an (I)immovable tent,
whose stakes will never be plucked up,
    nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 But there the Lord in majesty will be for us
    a place of (J)broad rivers and streams,
(K)where no galley with oars can go,
    nor majestic ship can pass.
22 For the Lord is our (L)judge; the Lord is our (M)lawgiver;
    the Lord is our (N)king; he will save us.

Jesus Is Coming

And he said to me, (A)“These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of (B)the spirits of the prophets, (C)has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

“And behold, (D)I am coming soon. (E)Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: (A)if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in (B)the tree of life and in (C)the holy city, which are described in this book.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely (D)I am coming soon.” Amen. (E)Come, Lord Jesus!
