Contextual Overview

39 And Marie arose in those dayes, & went into the hyll countrey with haste, into a citie of Iuda, 40 And entred into the house of Zacharie, and saluted Elizabeth. 41 And it came to passe, that when Elizabeth hearde the salutation of Marie, the babe sprang in her wombe, and Elizabeth was fylled with the holy ghost. 42 And she cryed with a loude voyce, and saide: Blessed art thou among women, because ye fruite of thy wombe is blessed. 43 And whence commeth this to me, that ye mother of my lord should come to me? 44 For loe, assoone as the voyce of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe sprang in my wombe for ioy. 45 And blessed is she that beleued: For those thinges shalbe perfourmed, which were tolde her from the Lorde. 46 And Marie saide: My soule magnifieth the Lorde. 47 And my spirite reioyceth in God my sauiour. 48 For he hath loked on the lowe degree of his handmayden: For loe, now from hencefoorth shal all generations call me blessed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

As he spake to our fathers,.... To David, of whose family Mary was; and to Jacob, or Israel, of whose stock she was; and to Isaac, in whom the seed was to be, called; and particularly,

to Abraham and to his seed for ever: not his natural, but his spiritual seed; both among Jews and Gentiles, to the end of the world; to these God promised this mercy of a Saviour and Redeemer, and to these he performs it, and will to all generations.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

As he spake to our fathers ... - That is, He has dealt mercifully with the children of Israel, according as He promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The promise particularly here referred to is that respecting the Messiah which was now about to be fulfilled; but there is no doubt that there was also included the promises respecting all the other mercies which had been conferred on the children of Israel. See Genesis 22:17-18.

Forever - These words are to be referred to the preceding verse - “in remembrance of His mercy” forever, “as he spake,” etc. They denote that the “mercy of God” manifested to His people should be had in everlasting remembrance.

There is a striking similarity between this song of praise by Mary and that spoken by “Hannah,” 1 Samuel 2:2-10. There are few pieces of “poetry” - for this is poetry, and almost the only poetry in the New Testament - more beautiful than this. It is the language of a humble, thankful, pious, female heart praising God:

  1. For his mercy to her, Luke 1:46-49;
  2. For his mercy to all people - his “general” goodness, Luke 1:50-53; and,
  3. His special goodness to his people, Luke 1:54-55.
