(#051) - Mary's Song from Luke 1:46-55

(#051) - Mary's Song from Luke 1:46-55

Luke 1:46-55. New International Version
Mary’s Song<br />
46 And Mary said:<br />
“My soul glorifies the Lord<br />
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,<br />
48 for he has been mindful<br />
of the humble state of his servant.<br />
From now on all generations will call me blessed,<br />
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—<br />
holy is his name.<br />
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,<br />
from generation to generation.<br />
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;<br />
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.<br />
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones<br />
but has lifted up the humble.<br />
53 He has filled the hungry with good things<br />
but has sent the rich away empty.<br />
54 He has helped his servant Israel,<br />
remembering to be merciful<br />
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,<br />
just as he promised our ancestors.”<br />
