46 And Mary said,
y “My z soul a magnifies the Lord,
47 b and my z spirit rejoices in c God my Savior,
48 for d he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations e will call me blessed;
49 for f he who is mighty g has done great things for me,
and h holy is his name.
50 And i his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
51 j He has shown strength with his arm;
k he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
52 j he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
l and exalted those of humble estate;
53 he has filled m the hungry with good things,
and the rich n he has sent away empty.
54 He has o helped p his servant Israel,
q in remembrance of his mercy,
55 r as he spoke to our fathers,
q to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
