Luke 1:46-55

Mary replied, “How I praise the Lord! I am so happy with God my Savior, because he decided that I, his servant, was worthy of his consideration, despite my humble background. From now on every generation will say I was blessed. God Almighty has done great things for me; his name is holy. His mercy lasts for generation after generation to those who respect him. With his power he has broken to pieces those who arrogantly think they're so clever. He tears the powerful down from their thrones, and elevates those who are humble. He fills the hungry with good things to eat, and he sends the rich away empty-handed. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering him in mercy, just as he promised our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants for ever.”
