1 Samuel 2:1

⁴⁶Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord. ⁴⁷My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior, ⁴⁸for he has looked at the humble state of his servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed. ⁴⁹For he who is mighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name. ⁵⁰His mercy is for generations and generations on those who fear him. ⁵¹He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. ⁵²He has put down princes from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly. ⁵³He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty. ⁵⁴He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy, ⁵⁵as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his offspring^[+] forever.”

⁵⁶Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her house.

⁵But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

²Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD,^[+] the LORD,^[+] is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.” ³Therefore with joy you will draw water out of the wells of salvation.

⁶In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

¹⁰But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

¹⁷For you are the glory of their strength. In your favor, our horn will be exalted.

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”

⁵We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the LORD grant all your requests.

¹⁴that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

⁹My soul shall be joyful in the LORD. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
