Then Mary said, “My heart is overflowing with praise of my Lord, my soul
is full of joy in God my Saviour. For he has deigned to notice me, his
humble servant and, after this, all the people who ever shall be will
call me the happiest of women! The one who can do all things has done
great things for me—oh, holy is his Name! Truly, his mercy rests on
those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his
arm, he has swept away the high and mighty. He has set kings down from
their thrones and lifted up the humble. He has satisfied the hungry with
good things, and sent the rich away with empty hands. Yes, he has
helped Israel, his child: he has remembered the mercy that he promised
to our forefathers, to Abraham and his sons for evermore!”
Luke 1:46-55 (J.B. Phillips)
