THE MAGNIFICAT
"My
soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in
God my Savior, for He has regarded
the lowly state of His maidservant;
for behold, henceforth all generations
will call me blessed. For He who is mighty has done
great things for me, and holy
is His name. And His mercy
is on those who
fear Him from generation to
generation. He has shown strength
with His arm; He has scattered
the proud in the imagination
of their hearts. He has put down the mighty
from their thrones, and exalted
the
lowly. He has filled the hungry
with good things, and the rich
He has sent away empty. He has
helped His Servant Israel, in
remembrance of His mercy, as
He spoke to our fathers, to
Abraham and to his seed forever."
Luke
1:46-55 NKJ
