Mary’s Song of Praise
46 And Mary[a] said,
“My soul magnifies the Lord,(A)
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,(B)
48 for he has looked with favor on the lowly state of his servant.
Surely from now on all generations will call me blessed,(C)
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name;(D)
50 indeed, his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.(E)

“With all my heart I glorify the Lord!
47 In the depths of who I am I rejoice in God my savior.

Look! From now on, everyone will consider me highly favored

Holy is his name.
50 He shows mercy to everyone,
from one generation to the next,
who honors him as God.
