English Standard Version

⁴⁵And ^(A)blessed is she who believed that there would be^[a] a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

Mary's Song of Praise: The Magnificat

⁴⁶And Mary said,

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