Ha-B'rit Hadasha
Luke 1:46-55 (NIV)
"My soul praises the Lord (47) and my spirit rejoices in God my
Savior, (48) for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed, (49) for the Mighty
One has done great things for me -- holy is his name. (50) His mercy
extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. (51) He
has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who
are proud in their inmost thoughts. (52) He has brought down rulers
from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. (53) He has filled
the hungry with good things but he has sent the rich away empty. (54)
He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful (55) to
Abraham and his descendants forever, even as he said to our fathers."
