46 Then Mary said, "My soul praises the greatness of the Lord!

47 My spirit exults in God, my Savior,

48 for he has looked favorably on his humble servant. From now on, all generations will call me blessed,

49 because the Almighty has done great things for me.His name is holy.

50 His mercy lasts from generation to generationfor those who fear him.

51 He displayed his mighty power with his arm. He scattered people who were proud in mind and heart.

52 He pulled powerful rulers from their thronesand lifted up humble people.

53 He filled hungry people with good thingsand sent rich people away with nothing.

54 He helped his servant Israel,remembering to be merciful,

55 according to the promise he made to our ancestors—to Abraham and his descendants forever."
