Mary praised God.

Luke 1:46-56

46 Then Mary praised God by saying/singing:

“, how I [SYN] praise ◄the Lord/God►!

47 I am happy because God is the one who saves me.

48 I was only his lowly servant girl, but he did not forget me.

So from now on, everyone will say that God was pleased with me,

49 because they will hear about the things that God [MTY], the mighty one, has done for me.

He [MTY] is awesome!

50 He acts mercifully toward all those who respect him.

51 He shows people that he [MTY] is very powerful. He scatters those who think proudly.

52 He does not let mighty kings rule [MTY] any more, but he honors people who are oppressed (OR, humble).

53 He gives good things to eat to those who are hungry, but he sends away the rich people without giving them anything.

54-55 54-55He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.

And now he has remembered what he promised.

So he has helped me and all the other people of [MTY] Israel who serve him.”

56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. Then she returned to her home.
