38“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it happen to me according to your word.” Then the angel left her.
...
46Then Mary said:
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
48For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed.
49For the Mighty One has done great things for me.
Holy is His name.
50His mercy extends to those who fear Him,
from generation to generation.
51He has performed mighty deeds with His arm;
He has scattered those who are proud
in the thoughts of their hearts.
52He has brought down rulers from their thrones,
but has exalted the humble.
53He has filled the hungry with good things,
but has sent the rich away empty.
54He has helped His servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful,
55as He promised to our fathers,
to Abraham and his descendants forever.”
— Luke 1:38,46-55
