and she gave a great cry, and said, "You are the most favored of women, And blessed is your child! Who am I, To have the mother of my Lord come to me? "For the moment your greeting reached my ears, The child stirred with joy within me! Blessed is she who has believed, For what the Lord has promised her will be fulfilled!" And Mary said, "My heart extols the Lord, My spirit exults in God my Savior. For he has noticed his slave in her humble station, For from this time all the ages will think me favored! "For the Almighty has done wonders for me, How holy his name is! He shows his mercy age after age To those who fear him. "He has done mighty deeds with his arm, He has routed the proud-minded, He has dethroned monarchs and exalted the poor, He has satisfied the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty-handed.
