Luke
Luke 1:46–50
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.
