Mary's Song of Praise: The Magnificat

⁴⁶And Mary said,

y“My zsoul amagnifies the Lord,

⁴⁷band my zspirit rejoices in cGod my Savior,

⁴⁸for dhe has looked on the humble estate of his servant.

For behold, from now on all generations ewill call me blessed;

⁴⁹for fhe who is mighty ghas done great things for me,

and hholy is his name.

⁵⁰And ihis mercy is for those who fear him

from generation to generation.

⁵¹jHe has shown strength with his arm;

khe has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;

⁵²jhe has brought down the mighty from their thrones

land exalted those of humble estate;

⁵³he has filled mthe hungry with good things,

and the rich nhe has sent away empty.

⁵⁴He has ohelped phis servant Israel,

qin remembrance of his mercy,

⁵⁵ras he spoke to our fathers,

qto Abraham and to his offspring forever.”

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