Luke 1:46–55

Mary's Song of Praise: The Magnificat

[46] And Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord,     [47]     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,     [48] for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.         For behold, 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] And his mercy is for those who fear him         from generation to generation.     [51] He has shown strength with his arm;         he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;     [52] he has brought down the mighty from their thrones         and exalted those of humble estate;     [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 offspring forever.” (ESV)
