Blue Letter Bible - Commentaries : His mercy is on them that fear him; it has always been so; ... for them that fear him, and this from generation to generation; for there are gospel privileges transmitted by entail , and intended for perpetuity."

Blue Letter Bible - Commentaries : "And, if God regards her low estate, he not only thereby gives a specimen of his favour to the whole race of mankind, whom he remembers in their low estate, as the psalmist speaks (Ps. 136:23),"

Luke 1.47-48 Magnificat Blue Letter Bible - Commentaries : "He has regarded the low estate of his handmaiden; that is, he has looked upon her with pity, for so the word is commonly used. 'He has chosen me to this honour, notwithstanding my great meanness, poverty, and obscurity.’’ Nay, the expression seems to intimate, not only (to allude to that of Gideon, Jdg. 6:15) that her family was poor in Judah, but that she was the least in her father’s house, as if she were under some particular contempt and disgraced among her relations, was unjustly neglected, and the outcast of the family, and God put this honour upon her, to balance abundantly the contempt."
