13th February 2011 Off By Derek Buckthorpe

 

46: And Mary said:

‘My Soul tells out the greatness of the Lord,

47: my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour

48: for He has looked with favour on his servant,
lowly as she is.
From this day forward
all generations will count me blessed.

49: for the mighty God has done great things for me. His name is holy,

50: His mercy sure from generation to generation toward those who fear him.

51: He has shown the might of His arm,
He has routed the proud and all their schemes;

52: He has brought down monarchs from their thrones, and raised on high the lowly.

53: He has filled the hungry with good things,
and sent the rich away empty.

54-55: He has come to the aid of Israel His servant,
as He promised to our forefathers;
He has not forgotten to show mercy to Abraham and his children’s children for ever’
