And Mary said:
“My soul

exalts the Lord,

Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous ones;
And shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart.

Sing for joy in the Lord, O you righteous ones;

Praise is becoming to the upright.

Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name;

Make known His deeds among the peoples.

O house of Israel, bless the Lord;
O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;

Mark the

blameless man, and behold the upright;

For the man of peace will have a

posterity.
