Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁴⁶ And Mary said, `My soul doth magnify the Lord,

⁴⁷ And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour,

⁴⁸ Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant, For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations,

⁴⁹ For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is] His name,

⁵⁰ And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To those fearing Him,

⁵¹ He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the proud in the thought of their heart,

⁵² He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the lowly,

⁵³ The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away empty,

⁵⁴ He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness,

⁵⁵ As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed -- to the age.'

¹⁷ A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land afar off.

¹⁸ Thy heart doth meditate terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?

¹⁹ The strong people thou seest not, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.

²⁰ See Zion, the city of our meetings, Thine eyes see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, Not removed are its pins for ever, And none of its cords are broken.

²¹ But there mighty [is] Jehovah for us, A place of rivers -- streams broad of sides, No ship with oars doth go into it, And a mighty ship doth not pass over it.

²² For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our king -- He doth save us.

⁶ And he said to me, `These words [are] stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

⁷ Lo, I come quickly; happy [is] he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.'

¹⁸ `For I testify to every one hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll, if any one may add unto these, God shall add to him the plagues that have been written in this scroll,

¹⁹ and if any one may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the scroll of the life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll;'

²⁰ he saith -- who is testifying these things -- `Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!
