Morée ©️Christian Choir Jigdaljahu ©️STH Records Released on: 2024-12-26 Lyrics: My soul exalts the glory of God; my spirit shall joyfully call the LORD my Savior, who, when she lies low, does not despise his handmaid, but causes her to boast of his favor. For, behold, because of the LORD, every generation shall call me blessed; because God, after calamity and sorrow, has done great things for me; now is his power revealed. How holy is his name! Nation by nation let mercy be shown to all; now he prepares salvation for those who fear him throughout all generations. The arm of the LORD is strong; he has done valiantly. Those who are proud in their conceit he has scattered, confused with all that the heart of the proud may intend. Those who are proud of their power he has despised, despised, and cast down from their thrones; but he exalts and protects the humble mind, in which his Spirit chooses to dwell. After long patience he has filled the hungry mouths with good things; He regarded no rich man, but sent him away empty in his conceit. His goodness was at its height; He took up His Israel, to the salvation His servant has ordained; as He swore, for our comfort, to Abram and his seed for ever. Translation: My soul magnifies the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, Who, in her lowly state, did not despise His servant, but caused her to proclaim His favor. For behold, because of the Lord's grace, every generation henceforth shall call me blessed; for God, after trial and sorrow, has done great things for me; now His power has been revealed. How holy is His name! Let every nation together expect His mercy; now He prepares salvation for those who fear Him through all generations. The Lord's arm is strong; He has performed mighty deeds; those who are proud in heart, He has scattered and confounded, with all that the hearts of the arrogant intended. Those proud of their power, He has scorned and cast down, removed from their thrones; but He exalts and cares for the humble of heart, in whom His Spirit dwells. He has, after much patience, filled the hungry with good things; He has not regarded the rich but has sent them away completely empty in their pride. His goodness has reached its height; He has helped His servant Israel, according to the salvation He promised; just as He swore to Abraham and his seed to be their comfort forever.
