Luke 1 : 46-47, 48-49, 50-51, 52-53, 54-55
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit exults in God my Saviour!
He has looked upon His servant in her lowliness, and people forever will call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, Holy is His Name!
From age to age His mercy extends to those who live in His presence. He has acted with power and done wonders, and scattered the proud with their plans.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and lifted up those who are downtrodden. He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty.
He held out His hand to Israel, His servant, for He remembered His mercy, even as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.

The works of His hands are faithful and just, trustworthy are all His precepts, ordained to last forever, bearers of truth and uprightness.
He has sent His people deliverances and made with them a covenant forever. His Holy Name is to be revered! To Him belongs everlasting praise.

Psalm 79 : 9 and 12, 13-14, 15-16, 19-20
You had a vine You brought from Egypt. You drove nations out, to plant it in their land. Its branches reached out to the sea and its shoots to the River.
Why, then, have You broken down its walls, so that all who pass by pluck its fruits? The beasts of the forest ravage it and all creatures of the field feed on it.
Turn again, o Lord of hosts, look down from heaven and see; care for this vine, and protect the stock Your hand has planted.
Then we will never turn away from You; give us life, and we will call on Your Name. Restore us, o Lord, God of hosts; make Your face shine on us, that we may be saved.

Give me knowledge and good judgment for I trust in Your commands.
It is good for me to have been afflicted, for I have deeply learnt Your statutes.
I know, o Lord, that Your laws are just, and there is justice in my affliction.
Your ordinances last to this day, for all things are made to serve You.
Give me knowledge; I am Your servant who desires to understand Your statutes.
As Your words unfold, light is shed, and the simple-hearted understand.
