Luke 1:41-56

New International Version

⁴¹When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.^(A) ⁴²In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women,^(B) and blessed is the child you will bear! ⁴³But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord^(C) should come to me? ⁴⁴As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. ⁴⁵Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”

Mary’s Song^(D)

⁴⁶And Mary said:

“My soul glorifies the Lord^(E)
⁴⁷    and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,^(F)
⁴⁸for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.^(G)
From now on all generations will call me blessed,^(H)
⁴⁹    for the Mighty One has done great things^(I) for me—
    holy is his name.^(J)
⁵⁰His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.^(K)
⁵¹He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;^(L)
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.^(M)
⁵²He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.^(N)
⁵³He has filled the hungry with good things^(O)
    but has sent the rich away empty.
⁵⁴He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful^(P)
⁵⁵to Abraham and his descendants^(Q) forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors.”
