39. Miriam arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah,
40. and entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elisheva.
41. When Elisheva heard Miriam’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elisheva was filled with the Holy Spirit.
42. She called out with a loud voice, and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
43. Why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44. For behold, when the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy!
45. Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!”
46. Miriam said,“My soul magnifies the Lord.
47. My spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior,
48. for he has looked at the humble state of his servant.For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed.
49. For he who is mighty has done great things for me.Holy is his name.
