Luke 1:55 To Abraham. See Genesis 12:1-3 13:14-17 15:5. And to his seed. The seed promised to Abraham was to be a blessing to the whole world. Compare the hymn of Hannah (I Samuel 2:1).
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).
