Mary’s Song: The Magnificat

46 And Mary said:

“(A)My soul [a](B)exalts the Lord,
47 And (C)my spirit has rejoiced in (D)God my Savior.
48 For (E)He has had regard for the humble state of His bond-servant;
For behold, from now on all generations will [b]call me (F)blessed.
49 For the Mighty One has done great things for me;
And holy is His name.
50 (G)And His mercy is to generation [c]after generation
Toward those who fear Him.
51 (H)He has done [d]mighty deeds with His arm;
He has scattered those who were proud in the [e]thoughts of their hearts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones,
And has (I)exalted those who were humble.
53 (J)He has filled the hungry with good things,
And sent the rich away empty-handed.
54 He has given help to His servant Israel,
[f]In remembrance of His mercy,
55 (K)Just as He spoke to our fathers,
(L)To Abraham and his [g]descendants forever.”

56 Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her home.

Mary’s Hymn of Praise to God

46 And Mary said,

“My soul exalts the Lord,
47     and my spirit has rejoiced greatly in God my Savior,
48 because he has looked upon the humble state of his female slave,
    for behold, from now on all generations will consider me blessed,
49 because the Mighty One has done great things for me,
    and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is for generation after generation
    to those who fear him.
51 He has done a mighty deed with his arm;
    he has dispersed the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones,
    and has exalted the lowly.
53 He has filled those who are hungry with good things,
    and those who are rich he has sent away empty-handed.
54 He has helped Israel his servant,
    remembering his mercy,
55 just as he spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”[a]

56 And Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her home.
