Mary’s Hymn of Praise to God

• 46 And Mary said,“My soul exalts the Lord,
  47 
  • 48  for behold, from now on all generations will consider me blessed,
  • 49 One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
  • 50 is for generation after generation to those who fear him.
  • 51  he has dispersed the proud in the thoughts of their hearts.
  • 52 their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.
  • 53 things, and those who are rich he has sent away empty-handed.
  • 54  remembering his mercy,
  • 55  to Abraham and to his descendants[fn]

56 And Mary stayed with her about three months, and returned to her home.
