Беременность и роды

Luke 1:46–55

46 Mary 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 handmaid. 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.

50 His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.

51 He has shown strength with his arm. He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

52 He has put down princes from their thrones. And has exalted the lowly.

53 He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.

54 He has given help to Israel, his servant, that he might remember mercy,

55 As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and his seed forever."

1 Sam 1:10–11

10 She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord, and wept bitterly.

11 She vowed a vow, and said, "Lord of hosts, if you will indeed look on the affliction of your handmaid, and remember me, and not forget your handmaid, but will give to your handmaid a boy, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall come on his head."

1 Sam 2:1–10

1 Hannah prayed, and said: "My heart exults in the Lord! My horn is exalted in the Lord. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies, because I rejoice in your salvation.

2 There is no one as holy as the Lord, For there is no one besides you, nor is there any rock like our God.

3 "Talk no more so exceeding proudly. Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth, For the Lord is a God of knowledge. By him actions are weighed.

4 "The bows of the mighty men are broken. Those who stumbled are armed with strength.

5 Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes.

6 "The Lord kills, and makes alive. He brings down to Sheol, and brings up.

7 The Lord makes poor, and makes rich. He brings low, he also lifts up.

8 He raises up the poor out of the dust. He lifts up the needy from the dunghill, To make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's. He has set the world on them.

9 He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for no man shall prevail by strength.

10 Those who strive with the Lord shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. "The Lord will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed."

Ps 139:13–16

13 For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb.

14 I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.

15 My frame wasn't hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.

Ps 128

1 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways.

2 For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.

3 Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, in the innermost parts of your house; your children like olive plants, around your table.

4 Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord.

5 May the Lord bless you out of Zion, and may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.

6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.

Luke 1:13–13

13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your request has been heard, and your wife, Elisabeth, will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

Ps 20

1 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble. May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

2 send you help from the sanctuary, grant you support from Zion,

3 remember all your offerings, and accept your burnt sacrifice. Selah.

4 May He grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill all your counsel.

5 We will triumph in your salvation. In the name of our God, we will set up our banners. May the Lord grant all your requests.

6 Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed. He will answer him from his holy heaven, with the saving strength of his right hand.

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, but we trust the name of the Lord our God.

8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we rise up, and stand upright.

9 Save, Lord! Let the King answer us when we call!

Ps 116

10 I believed, therefore I said, "I am greatly afflicted."

11 I said in my haste, "All men are liars."

12 What will I give to the Lord for all his benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.

14 I will pay my vows to the Lord, yes, in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his holy ones.

16 Lord, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call on the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows to the Lord, yes, in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of you, Jerusalem. Praise Yah!

Ps 128

6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel.
