Mary'S Song
Luke 1:39–56 · World English Bible
Luke 1:39Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
Luke 1:40and entered into the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth.
Luke 1:41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Luke 1:42She called out with a loud voice and said,
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Luke 1:43Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luke 1:44For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
Luke 1:45Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
Luke 1:46Mary said,
My soul magnifies the Lord.
Luke 1:47My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
Luke 1:48for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
Luke 1:49For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name.
Luke 1:50His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him.
Luke 1:51He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Luke 1:52He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
Luke 1:53He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.
Luke 1:54He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,
Luke 1:55as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring forever.”
Luke 1:56Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.
