The Song of Mary

46 And Mary said:

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
48 For He has regarded
    the low estate of His servant;
surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed.
49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me,
    and holy is His name.
50 His mercy is on those who fear Him
    from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with His arm;
    He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has pulled down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted those of low degree.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich He has sent away empty.
54 He has helped His servant Israel,
    in remembrance of His mercy,
55 as He spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”[a]
