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. 
50 And aHis mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation. 
51 aHe has shown strength with His arm;
bHe has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 
52 aHe has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.

Luke 1:47

Luke 1:47 My Saviour. Mary, by this word, reckons herself among that which was lost. She obtained salvation, not from herself, but from Jesus. (Bengel).



Luke 1:46-55

Luke 1:46-55 Mary said. Mary also is filled with the spirit of prophecy. These two godly women are the first human prophets of the New Testament. Mary's language is in part drawn from the Psalms. This hymn is divisible into three parts: (1) recognition of God's strange grace upon her own humble person and character (Luke 1:46-49); (2) a recognition that it is ever thus that God exalts the humble, and brings low the proud (Luke 1:50-53); (3) the result is that humble Israel is now to be exalted according to God's promise to Abraham (Luke 1:54).
