Luke 1:45
Compare all
43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 aBlessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”  

The Song of Mary

46 And Mary said:
a“My soul1 magnifies the Lord, 
47 And my spirit has arejoiced in bGod my Savior. 
48 For aHe has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth ball generations will call me blessed. 
49 For He who is mighty ahas done great things for me,
And bholy is His name.

Luke 1:45

For (oti). It is not certain whether oti here is "that" or "because." It makes good sense either way. See also Luke 7:16. This is the first beatitude in the New Testament and it is similar to the last one in the Gospels spoken to Thomas to discourage his doubt (John 20:29). Elisabeth wishes Mary to have full faith in the prophecy of the angel. This song of Elisabeth is as real poetry as is that of Mary (Luke 1:47-55) and Zacharias (Luke 1:68-70). All three spoke under the power of the Holy Spirit. These are the first New Testament hymns and they are very beautiful. Plummer notes four strophes in Mary's Magnificat (Luke 1:46-48, Luke 1:49-50, Luke 1:51-53, Luke 1:54-55). Every idea here occurs in the Old Testament, showing that Mary's mind was full of the spiritual message of God's word.
