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.”

Zechariah's Prophecy
67 And his father Zechariah (A)was filled with the Holy Spirit and (B)prophesied, saying,
68 (C)“Blessed be the Lord (D)God of Israel,
for he has (E)visited and (F)redeemed his people
69 and (G)has raised up (H)a horn of salvation for us
(I)in the house of his servant David,
70 (J)as (K)he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old,
71 (L)that we should be saved from our enemies
and from the hand of all who hate us;
72 (M)to show the mercy promised to our fathers
and (N)to remember his holy (O)covenant,
73 (P)the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us
74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
might serve him (Q)without fear,
75 (R)in holiness and righteousness before him (S)all our days.
76 And you, child, will be called (T)the prophet of (U)the Most High;
for (V)you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people
(W)in the forgiveness of their sins,
78 because of the (X)tender mercy of our God,
whereby (Y)the sunrise shall (Z)visit us[a] (AA)from on high
79 to (AB)give light to (AC)those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into (AD)the way of (AE)peace.”
