Listen: You will become pregnant and give
birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.
He will be great, and will be called the
Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will
give him the throne of his father David.
He will reign over the house of
Jacob forever, and his kingdom will never
end.
So Mary said, Yes, I am a servant of the Lord;
let this happen to me according to your
word.
I will give you thanks with all my heart;
before the heavenly assembly I will sing praises to you.
I will bow down toward your holy temple,
and give thanks to your name,
because of your loyal love and faithfulness,
for you have exalted your promise above the entire sky.
Though the Lord is exalted, he takes note of the lowly,
and recognizes the proud from far away.
