Berean Study Bible

And my spirit
The phrase "my spirit" in the Greek is "τὸ πνεῦμά μου" (to pneuma mou). The term "pneuma" is often used in the New Testament to denote the immaterial part of a person, the seat of emotions and character. In this context, it reflects the innermost being of Mary, indicating a deep, personal, and spiritual response to God's work in her life. This highlights the intimate relationship between the believer and God, where one's spirit rejoices in the presence and promises of the Lord.

rejoices
The Greek word for "rejoices" is "ἀγαλλιάω" (agalliaō), which conveys an intense, exuberant joy. This is not a mere feeling of happiness but a profound, spiritual exultation. In the context of Luke 1:47, it reflects Mary's overwhelming joy and gratitude for God's favor and the fulfillment of His promises. This joy is rooted in faith and the recognition of God's mighty acts, serving as a model for believers to find joy in God's salvation and His work in their lives.

in God
The preposition "in" (ἐν, en) signifies a position or state of being. Here, it denotes the source and object of Mary's joy. Her rejoicing is not in her circumstances or personal achievements but in God Himself. This reflects a deep theological truth that true joy is found in a relationship with God, who is the ultimate source of all goodness and blessing. It encourages believers to anchor their joy in the unchanging nature and promises of God.

my Savior
The term "Savior" (σωτήρ, sōtēr) is significant, as it acknowledges God as the one who delivers and rescues. In the Old Testament, God is often referred to as the Savior of Israel, delivering them from physical and spiritual bondage. Here, Mary recognizes God as her personal Savior, indicating her awareness of her need for salvation and God's provision of it. This acknowledgment is foundational to the Christian faith, emphasizing the necessity of recognizing one's need for a Savior and the provision of salvation through Jesus Christ. It serves as a reminder of the personal and communal aspects of salvation, where God is both the Savior of individuals and the entire community of believers.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(47) In God my Saviour.--We may well believe that this choice of the name was determined by the meaning of the name, implying God's work of salvation, which she had been told was to be given to her Son.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 46b-48. - My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. This is the first of the four divisions of the Magnificat. In it she speaks of herself, and her deep feelings of adoration and of holy joy, and of intense glad surprise. It is a prayer, but the highest kind of prayer, for it asks for nothing - it simply breathes adoration and thankfulness. We may imagine the angels praying thus. They have all that created beings, however exalted, can desire in the beatific vision which they perpetually enjoy; and yet they pray continually, but only after this manner. The joy of her spirit, notice, is based on the fact of the revelation that he, God, was, too, her Savior; and, of course, not hers only: her great joy was in the thought of the salvation of the suffering, sinning world around her. Then she passes into simple wonderment that she should have been chosen as the instrument of the boundless goodness of God. She had nothing to recommend her only her low estate. Though royally descended, she only occupied a position among the humblest Hebrew maidens, and yet, owing to God's favor, she will be deemed blessed by countless unborn generations.
